with CEFL's first Regional Director (because I know there will be more!), Rev. Enid Rios Rivera to discuss our organization's relaunching in the Northeast Corridor...here is what we agreed upon:
a. As always it will be open to ALL women but we will be proud about being Latina-led.
b. Our events will not be cutesy typical women's issues, we want to address issues facing women of color and in particular when able, our Latina women.
c. A chapter manual will be developed and the birth of the NY Chapter of CEFL will take place sometime in 2006.
d. Rev. Enid will be putting her team together and will be meeting with them to ask them to "RE-Imagine CEFL" by answering a questionnaire I will develop AND giving us general comments on what they envision CEFL could be
e. I may go to some events, I may not..."this is bigger than me"
f. A brainstorming, meet the entire team (NY and FL) breakfast will be held January 28 in Fl, our headquarters. At this meeting (hopefully everyone can come), we will plan 2006.
Interested in joining either the first chapter in NY? or the headquarters team in FL? Please do let us know. Email Pastor Enid at pastorenid@primitivechurch.org or email me (Liz) at pastorliz@woundedhealerfellowship.com.
Hola Liz,
I'm glad this conversation is happening. Sounds like a lot of wisdom in going on toward the future.
