How the Action Planning Teams Worked (October 2009 - February 2010)
Thanks to a strong outpouring of interest from the community, District 64 created five Action Planning Teams that worked from October 2009 - February 2010. More than 100 volunteers participated on the teams; each team had a balance of District 64 staff and community members. Review the membership of the five teams.
