Dear Caldwell,

Last Friday and Saturday, a diverse group of Caldwell members, educators, housing experts and non-profit agency leaders spent two mornings in an idea-design workshop facilitated by the firm Faster-Glass Consulting. Our goal was to start with “what if” and brainstorm ways to use our campus to serve our needs as well as our city’s.

Three ideas emerged and teams were invited to create “prototypes” of their ideas, using things like Lego people and blocks, pipe cleaners, fabrics and other ways to communicate what the teams had in mind. Team members recorded short videos (below) to explain what the prototypes represent.

Keep in mind that these ideas were developed with no limits in side-by-side groups. So, it’s not surprising that the ideas overlap and do not reflect the restrictions that will inevitably come into play later in the process.

For now, as invited by the Belk Gambrell family, these teams were dreaming big, “what if …?” dreams. For more on all of this, feel free to drop by Belk Hall after worship this Sunday for an informal overview and to ask any questions.

As we have stated repeatedly, all ideas and input are welcome!!  Our team leader is Gina Shell at ginalushell@gmail.com. Here’s the link. You may need to turn the volume up.
