RSVP by Sept 15 →Why we're doing this
This isn't new.
Kerry Lynn started the Community Huddle in 2013. 22 people showed up to the first one. By 2024 it had grown to 87 speakers and 220 people attending: non-profits, churches, businesses, city leadership, schools, and residents, all sharing what they were doing for Williams.
Small towns work best when we know each other. Groups that had been duplicating work started coordinating. Groups that were missing opportunities found them. People connected on staff needs, equipment lending, advertising, and even the cookie bakers.
How it works
RSVP by Sept 15 to introduce yourself or your organization.
