On October 27, 250 +/- people gathered at both Sunnyvale Presbyterian and Resurrection Catholic churches in Sunnyvale, and spent the day listening, discussing and planning how to make the world better. Along the way they saw our film, read our book, wore our T Shirts (all still available at: www.sanjosepby.org/BetterWorldStuff.htm) and spent the day in a community of hope and optimism.

Many want to make this event an annual affair. I'm not sure I'm up to considering that, especially so soon after the event. But things I'd like to consider now include: building powerful email communities from the participants in their areas of passion and continuing to suggest to them ways they might pursue their passion and make the part of the world that concerns them better; hosting a speaker on our theme of better world building at least once a year; and inspire my network of Hunger Action Enablers around the US to repeat this event in some form.

People prayed for the success of the event all over the country and their/our prayers were answered: the event was a big success. I am so grateful for all who helped, who considered the problems and solutions presented, who took out time from their busy weekend to focus on the world and making it a better place.
