CommunityMatters: Newport, Vermont
Community Workshop Postcard Commitments
Connecting Community, Activating Change
 On February 4, 2013 community members gathered at the
 Goodrich Memorial Library in Newport, Vermont for a workshop
 convened by CommunityMatters and Newport City Renaissance
 Corporation.

 The day-long workshop focused on discussing concrete tools and
 ideas for strengthening Newport’s ability to solve problems,
 make decisions, and build a resilient city.

 These photos represent the commitments of attendees to take
 action following the workshop.



 CommunityMatters is a national partnership of seven organizations that share the
 belief that people have the power to solve their community’s problems and direct
 future growth and change. Learn more at communitymatters.org.
I will do a better job communicating and documenting progress and
challenges on a continuum.
I will volunteer to organize a neighborhood group.
I will work with other like-minded people to head up an
outreach effort to inform my community about the
importance of our schools.
I will look into the café commons idea for open
discussion on Newport issues.
I will organize a citizen group to help with Prouty Beach
and Gardner Park visions and improvements.
I will bring this information to CWS Group.
I will engage more citizens.
I will follow up with NCRC Board on ensuring Town Hall
meetings occur and stay in touch with City Manager.
I will be a steward and guide in the process of
communication with people I meet and interact with
in the Newport region. Engage!
I will work more on community involvement.
I will keep talking with peer groups about issues discussed
today. Listen…openly. Engage…commit.
I will spread the word to my friends and peers the power of
volunteering in growing our community. One step. One effort.
Small steps for a great community.
I will commit to continue finding the voices that are not
being heard. (Ambassador) Thanks!
I will continue to become more active in community
development organizations.
I will take more of a place-based approach in my daily work
with Design, PC, garden, and work.
I will be more proactive in my recruitment of volunteers. Be
more intentional with the things in which I am involved.
