Crosspoint Community Collage! From: Joe Rasmussen
Time for another round of submissions for the Crosspoint Community Collage! Remind the individuals that you work with to bring in things that they would like to get up onto the mural—things that are meaningful to them that they would like to show off to the community. I also encourage staff to bring in items too. This project is about creating an agency wide representation of the way we con-nect in our daily lives. Once we get closer to completion, we will put out a press release so the whole of Vermilion County will see our work! FYI—holiday in-
spired items are great too.
