Roanoke, ,Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
We have been in the process of planning for our upcoming visioning workshops over the
past several weeks and thanks to your input, we are ready to propose a schedule of times
and a location. It is our understanding that Ms. Parker discussed these dates with each
of you sometime ago. We initially wanted to convene the sessions away from Roanoke
to allow each of us the benefit of distancing ourselves from our day to day demands;
however, out of town plans have proven to be impractical. Therefore, we would like to
propose that we hold the sessions at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.
The following schedule is suggested:
Thursday, July 18, 1996
Convene at 5:30 p.m.
Break for dinner at approximately 6:30 p.m.,
and reconvene until 9:00 p.m.
Friday, July 19, 1996
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 20, 1996
8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
All sessions will be held in the Monroe Room.

As in most worthwhile pursuits, we all benefit from our involvement based on the depth and
the quality of that involvement. We feel strongly that we are all equal partners in
developing, sharing and supporting our visioning process to date. It is hoped that the
upcoming visioning workshops will allow each of us to focus on the task of setting a
common direction for our community and for City government.
Thank you for your willingness to participate in the workshops and to participate in the
dialogue from beginning to end. Hopefully, we will create an environment at the
Conference Center that will allow us to spend some very meaningful time together. Please
feel free to call us if you have questions.
Best personal regards.
