Collaboration Celebration on the Prairie
There doesn’t seem to be a time in recent memory when Prairie community members can recall the Quad Cities (Cottonwood, Ferdinand, Keuterville, Greencreek) plus two (Monastery of St. Gertrude and North Idaho Correctional Institute) coming together as a group to work on the same program. In addition, each group is actively advocating for the best interests of the other groups. “Do we have anyone from Keuterville on the committee?” “Make sure the sisters can come on that day!” “Does the Ferdinand city council know about this opportunity?” There is a changing mindset happening from local to regional, what one steering committee member referred to as, “a oneness of communities.” This is how a vision becomes a reality!
