CTC's Programs Committee energizes community connections by organizing diverse community-wide activities, groups, and events. Our co-op committees promote community building and directly influence co-op decision-making in various sectors of our multifaceted co-op. This enables our committee members to develop a comprehensive understanding of the co-op’s operations, strong leadership skills, and an enhanced ability to think critically.
December Meeting Recap
At the beginning of our meetings we try to review that prior month’s events and do an analysis of what worked, what didn’t and what we can change. For this meeting we talked about Thanksgiving and looked over the survey that was sent out to participants. Generally, the event was well-attended and well-received, we mostly had suggestions of more activities designed to get people talking to one another. This was a good segue into talking about what our goals are for this new year. Full December Meeting Minutes.
Goals for 2020
- Four new resident events each year.
- Five cultural events each year.
- Four youth events each year.
- Two Ward Rep-led events each year for each Ward.
These event categories can and will overlap, but it helps guide our efforts to cater to all of the demographic categories that live at CTC.
We decided to focus on the following events for 2020:
- Cooking Classes (Jan-April only)
- Bingo Night
- Four coffee-related meet-and-greet events: Café Night (2 per year) / Welcome Breakfast / New Member Breakfast
- Movie Night (1 or 2)
- Bonfire Night
- Ping-pong Tournament (not sure about the details yet)
Next meeting:
- January 21st from 6 to 7pm in the CTC Meeting Room
- We will follow up with dates and more detailed plans for the events we have chosen for 2020
- Analyze the successes and needed improvements of the Lunar New Year and Global Cooking Class
All are welcome to attend the meetings without any commitment or even involvement! The meetings are great opportunities to bring ideas, feedback, and opinions for our committee's attention and action - or just kick back and listen/learn more of the discussion.
