Sister Florence Kelly was persuaded to draw • . -a logo representing Dublin for the booklet's cover:. Loretta Shea prepared a short story, , on Dublin's history and Rose Van Bergen and ,Maureen Ruston were bsked to compose lyrics for a song about the town. At this point Mr. Slotta asked forum members to individually think of some of the major issues lacing ',Dublin in the area of ' economics, politics and culture, • Among economic issues raised by forum members was the problem of competition for Dublin • businesses from Outside businesses, who could offer more product variety, the shortage of qualified people to take public office and accept rcsonsibility and how to maintain self-government for the village. An issue which arose again was the fact the lack of serviced lots in the town was . a disadvantage when • trying to __encourage indirstrieSto move to Dublin. but if lots were serviced then taxes would increase. Another major issue, raised by student participants, was the lack of activities for young people in the village. After considering these issues,- • residents were divided into smaller groups of six people, and asked to draw up specific challenges facing the town. The three challenges which -atm from the discussion groups were: stimulating leadership within the community; keeping a”. . balance in Dublin both in the ages of residents and in the town's ,growth and providing capital to encourage new businesse to setti in the community. After identifying the challenges facing their community, Mrs. Slotta directed residents in a shorter workShop which focuSed on naming some 'proposals to answer the . basic 'challenges faCing Dublin. Participants decided in order to stimualte local leadership, a positive stepwould be taorganize a leadership training •course through contact with the one of the .region's community colleges. . , Participants recommended. starting the course in the late fall or early winter. The second poSitive proposal to' keep a balance between faMilieS and retired people in the community was to sponsor community night at. St. Patrick's School under the leadership of local ,organizations.' in the town. The c;onirounity night could start in September And be held once a month initially. Finally, the tined proposal decided on by forum members was to undertake an economic survey in Dublin. and area to discover how to stimulate capital and attract much needed industries. Forum Members suggested a Survey analyzed and. developed either through the business leadership class at the local school or else a survey completed with the assistance of community college. The forum concluded with a -general -sitig-Stirig -Whieh ended with the singing' of the new song about Dublin. As the fortim broke up- each member was presented ,with a booklet outlining the evening's workshops. the names of people wile had participated. the lyrics of the Dublin song and the three proposals for change. The forum was Obviously a success-one man who left part way through returned to see the final of 'the evening's discussion. Mary Litwiller, the• community council co-ordinator who helped organize the forum, said- she had egpected about five people, since the eventwls organized on such short notice. Another Man said the evening had proved at least one thing to him--"it goes to show we're on the right track with the community school idea."
