A time to step back, evaluate and move ahead to the next steps will be the focus of a celebration October 20 for the project known as “Toward One Wausau.”
“Toward One Wausau: Culmination, Evaluation and Celebration” will look back at over a year of information gathering – including surveys, outreach to community and government officials and many community dialogues. The project is ready to announce key takeaways, discuss action steps going forward and celebrate a diverse Wausau.
The free event, at Northcentral Technical College Cafeteria, is open to the public, and will be a mix of ethnic food, musical entertainment by local groups and some specific ways to increase unity and diversity among all groups in the Wausau area. Click here for a short video on Toward One Wausau.
“The celebration will offer a relaxed, fun experience for everyone, while at the same time provide concrete examples of action plans to help bring together people of different backgrounds,” said Eric Giordano, Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service director and one of the original sponsors of the project.
