We had good discussions about the future of the organization. We affirmed our mission, defined our differentiators, discussed the base organizational structure, and departed with key action items in our key operational areas. They are:
1) Operations: Locate offsite storage.
2) Business Planning: Apply for 501c3 status.
3) Marketing: Craft key marketing pieces and robust website framework.
These are to be accomplished in the next month and reported back at our next organizational meeting on Tuesday, 22FEB11 at 7:30pm at Memorial Drive Christian Church. This will be a monthly recurring meeting at the same time on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Put it on your calendar!
We picked up two new partners this week—West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM) and The Brookwood Community. WHAM has an employment services program, and just a week prior to meeting with me was about to embark on a bicycle drive to try to supply bikes to their clients. The Brookwood Community’s citizens either walk or bike around the 500 acre community. Bicycles are central to their basic transportation and fitness. It is a beautiful place (landscaping and citizens) that is a perfect fit with our mission. Many of their bikes are three-wheelers, but I know that some of you out there are looking for just such a challenge!
With 110 bikes, you can imagine that we need help. I would encourage each of you to pray for the continued development of Chain Reaction Ministries, and ask “What can I give?” Please and contact me to inquire about what is next and how you can get involved.
Pay it Forward,
David
