9. Three Questions…Table Facilitator and “Secretary” Be respectful of everyone’s opinion. Respond to the question on the table. Each question will be given 15 minutes for discussion. Speak from your own experiences instead of generalizing. Use “I” instead of “they,” “we,” or “you.” Focus on ideas, not persons. Everyone is to have a chance to speak. We will first go around the table individually for each person to give a quick, initial response (20 seconds), then we will open it up for discussion. Our purpose is not to reach consensus, so it is okay that some of the important points appear to be contradictory, as long as we agree they are important points.

10. For topics or comments that are not covered in this evening’s meeting, there are comment cards at each table: Complete the card Facilitator will collect and turn in after meeting Individual response or posting on Web site Information from tonight will be posted on Web site
