Meeting with the Mayor

Last night I represented One Mission in a meeting with the Mayor of Penasco and all the other organizations and churches in the city. It was a decent enough meeting but the cool part was being recognized as an organization by the city. They talked about how we can all work together and neat stuff like that. All in all it was fairly political but it was cool to be a part of it.

The productive part for us was when they created a system for how organizations can reach the city. Previously you had to know someone who knows someone to get a meeting with the city. Now we go to this one guy (who One Mission has worked with previously) and his role is to help the city help us. It should be pretty cool. I'm setting up a meeting with him soon about the community we want to be building out in the barrios of Rocky Point.
