Organizers say that
this election (and especially for Dumas) has philanthropic resources bringing a
surplus of $6,000,000 from a generous gift by the Merle and Deloris Peterson’s
estate which denotes much at stake for current and future leaders, citizens and
strategist to determine best use regarding the city’s future. How these dollars
and other resources will be invested in sustainable programs is what organizers
are working on with local, state and national organizations and leaders that
focus on needs and improvement for Dumas/Desha.
Local developers, individuals and programs leaders (including
startups) are encouraged to bring written copies of their vision/concepts for
inclusion in a collaborative vision/proposal that will allow many programs to
unitize shared visions. Program development includes demographics from youth
the seniors with an emphasis on ‘all of Dumas/Desha.’
There will be a
question and answer segment and an opportunity for citizens to share/submit
their vision/plans/concepts for Dumas/Desha 2018 and beyond. The forum will be
held at HMC—Hunt Memorial Cathedral of Faith located at 225 South Walnut (at
Waterman). Candidates who have
not confirmed participation, persons needing additional information on the
organizers of the forum and persons desiring to volunteer or to participate
please email allofdumasunited@gmail.com and/or leave comments
here.
