You will always have those who don’t want to change. I encourage you to listen to them and dig deeper into their concerns. What are the underlying issues of concern? Address those in your work. And continue what you are doing – moving forward and inviting. Find those key individuals who can help make inroads and have some one-on-one conversations. Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing.

More likely you would hear complaints about the efforts by the local development group to make the village more appealing to visitors or complaints that our school is about to go broke or that the village isn’t providing enough services to the community. The local coffee clutch does nothing to help and everything to hinder. Sorry to be negative, but it’s been a long, cold winter in southeastern Illinois. :)
Our development group continues to do things in spite of the coffee crowd and we have open meetings every Friday morning to continue the efforts!
