CCAT journal

Log:
I spent a bit of my morning at Potawot Health Village. It’s such a tranquil place. I’ll explain more next week after I volunteer for a day in their gardens. In the meantime, you can check out their link.
I went to my first CCAT steering committee meeting tonight. I’ve heard differing perspectives on the effectiveness of meetings, but was impressed with tonight’s. Key members were able to step up and play devil’s advocate enough to answer questions that really needed to be asked.

Questions:
-Potawot Village, under United Indian Health Services, integrates the values and practices of a specific culture. Could such a thing be recreated centering around Appalachian culture?
-When are my efforts to adequately document my experiences counter productive?
-Ultimately which is more effective, to stand up for an organization to the administration or to try establish relationships? Is there room for both?

Meg,
Sounds like a good idea to imitate Potawat Village in Appalacia. Would it be possible with the cultural differences?
