How Did We Do?

Meeting Details

How do we do? A multidimensional question. 

Join us for community announcements, local and county speakers providing updates and information the community and updates on projects and other initiatives in the community. 

This month we ask the question of the community, how do we do? How does the community see it self addressing itself?  We'll have a presentation on this and a bunch of other fine topics. 

We'll also be introducing realtime digital audio translation from English to Spanish via radio headphones. We are excited about the technology and bringing it into the community space. You can listen to the KWMR interview here about the technology.

See you there!
