<DIV><SPAN class=729342618-23072013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Darcy is in
Guatamala until August 1, so I am emailing everyone on behalf of the Visioning
Committee. We have had some requests for letter formats for inviting clientele
to participate in the process. Therefore, I am attaching a letter I used for
Gila County as an invitation and a confirmation letter with the agenda. I have
also attached the handout that each participant needs to receive (hopefully
before your focus group meeting) and the instructions for conducting the focus
group meeting that was sent out earlier from the Visioning Committee. Darcy sent
out PowerPoints for both the new and older Turning Point software on 6/11/2013.
If you need one of those PowerPoints sent out again, let us know. Also, if your
county does not have the Turning Point software and clickers, I will make
arrangements to loan you the equipment from Gila County as long as it does not
interfere with another program we are doing. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=729342618-23072013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are hoping you
can finish up your focus group meetings in August and send us your reports by
the first part of September. Please use the existing report function in the
Turning Point software to generate your report. We need to take your content and
develop a larger mail out state/county survey that we hope to have finished and
received back by the end of September. We have a lot of things depending upon
our stakeholder input, including new hires, so please be timely. Please send
your completed focus group reports to Darcy Dixon <A

the letters will need to be changed for your counties. You will need to create a
new and different Doodle Poll link. You will also need to delete the reference
to the video clip in the agenda unless you desire to show that clip and get it
from me.</EM> </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
