[NFBC-Info] FW: LightHouse Community Discussion

[Tim Elder]

Friends,

 

Please share the latest update about the expected vote schedule for the proposed takeover of the San Francisco LightHouse.  I encourage everyone who is a genuinely affected LightHouse consumer to sign up to attend and comment on this issue during the December 8 open meeting mentioned below.  Assuming that not everyone will get to speak due to time, I encourage individuals to consider a few additional strategies to help the board get your comment.

1.                    Consider changing your Zoom screen name to reflect a short statement such as “Joe Smith (Current LightHouse O/M student) Vote No!” or  “Betty Johnson (EHC Camper of 50 years) Say No” or Mark McGuire (LH Manager) Vote yes!”  Others might find creative ways to express a message with your account profile picture.  

2.                    If chat or questions to the moderator are permitted, consider writing a brief comment and asking that it be shared with the board.  

3.                    if you cannot attend this meeting below, consider writing a letter explaining your involvement and ideas for a solution to the board and sending it to president at nfbcal.org.  I will pass respectful letters along to the Board Chair, Jennison Asuncion for his consideration to distribute them to other board members.

 

The point of the above is to help the board assess the community impact and understand how actual LightHouse consumers will be affected in a practical way.  

 

Regards,

 

Tim Elder

President

Dear LightHouse Community & Staff:
 

The LightHouse Board of Directors is seeking your continued input and questions regarding the potential partnership between LightHouse San Francisco and Lighthouse Guild International. We know many of you have had the opportunity to provide valuable insight at our fireside chats and in writing. We appreciate the feedback. We recognize that this is a monumental decision impacting the future of the Lighthouse and take this decision seriously.
 

Prior to Thanksgiving the board promised an additional discussion. We apologize for the delay. As we make our final decision it is important for students, family members, professionals, and staff to share their thoughts or ask questions in a respectful and solutions-oriented manner.
