Advice on where to buy tablecloths for World Cafe?

Posted on November 8, 2010 at 12:44pm 2 Comments

For the regional NCDD event in Portland this weekend, we are holding an evening World Cafe on Friday that is open to the public. Then we’ll be holding our one-day Cascadia Conference on Dialogue & Deliberation all day on Saturday. So we’ll need to use the tablecloths both… Continue

HI Sandy,
Welcome from me too! Did you get the email I sent you a while back seeing if we might connect in a phone visit? There are a number of things I want to let you know about that are still unfolding....where NCDD might play a key role.
I'm back in California from August 20-September 9-- what does your week look like for a call that first week of September?
Fond regards,
Juanita
