I apologize for my late response but I was waiting for a scheduled conference call with my colleagues before I could reply. I was excited at the possibility of collaborating with you and your colleagues at the Active Aging Conference in LA in December. As you know time and resources are precious. After having discussed the opportunities at the conference for our project, Janet, Moira and I decided to concentrate our on-going planning efforts here in Europe. However I am very interested in the recommendations and results of the conference! How about arranging a call in January 2011 to exchange thoughts? It would be great to touch base personally. All the best for a very successful conference. I look forward to hearing all about it early next year. Warm regards from Munich, Pat

At 11:33pm on November 27, 2009, Pastor Stephennie said…: Hi John, I am planning a huge cafe at my church entitled PUSH "pray unitil something happens" It's based on the movie PRECIOuS. I have been facilitating cafe's now for about 4 years I LOVE them!! Well I am new to the the world cafe' site and everyone seems to be replying to my email and not the site is that normal??? How does the site help ....I have about 22 registered and I have not yet posted the event...what are some of your promotional idea's and some of the other tools this site has to offer? Please Asvise. Thank You!!

At 7:18pm on November 7, 2009, John Morgan said…: I guess I mean more what do you physically do with the results. I have transcribed them and sorted by question and then written summaries of the major themes. I photograph the artwork and incorporate it into the summary. That seems like the logical way to use the results, but have you seen any other way?

At 10:22am on November 7, 2009, John Morgan said…: Plan on it.

Tell me what you do to follow-up on Cafe sessions generally. What do you do with the comments received? Where does it go from there?

At 4:04pm on November 3, 2009, Jenn Scharf said…: Hi John,
Thanks for the great conversation at the end of the multi-generational Cafe. It was great to connect.

I have my own intergenerational conversation (co-generational)
within my own family in two countries!; and am privileged to
be in dialogue with many across the world. Blessings, Anne, Elder, TWC.

At 12:05pm on September 7, 2009, Chris Abbey said…: Love to John. I will also try to get a teleconference before just so people from the area can touch base with each other. Would you be interested in participating?

At 7:54am on September 7, 2009, Terry VanQuickenborne said…: Good morning John. Thank you for the friend request. I'm delighted to accept. I am also on an educational journey - a year into my graduate degree at Pepperdine. I applaud you for taking the step to do your PhD. I've heard amazing things about the Fielding program. I'm looking forward to conversations and connections with this community.
