Be a part of democracy in action
Weinland Park is proud to be the first Columbus neigh-
borhood to use Dialogue Circles for positive change.
This highly-effective model of civic participation was
first introduced in Lima, Ohio, when deep-rooted race
divisions came to a head during the Rodney King riots.
From the collective power of 1,200 residents sharing
both their aspirations and their reservations, dozens of
grass-roots efforts emergedfrom youth mentoring pro-
grams to a multi-racial unity choir.
You are absolutely crucial in building the trust, unity,
and vision necessary to realize a more livable Weinland
Park. Our voice is only as loud and powerful as you
make it. To be us, we needyou.
A dinner and sample dialogue will be held on Tuesday,
Feb. 12, from 68 p.m. in the gym of WP Elementary,211 E. 7th
Ave. Childcare will be provided. Please call
294-5476, ext. 126, to let us know youll be there.
We are organizing an international potluck for the
event and really need lots of contributions. Please let
