Some themes that arose at our June 5th meeting:

  • Rochester is program rich and perhaps our compassion initiative can be a force to unify good work being done for the many responses to suffering in our community. We do not need to create a new program. Al Lun's http://dmcbeam.org can be built upon.
  • Should we approach the city to create a Compassion Commission so the message is not just coming from the Mayor but embedded within the city structure?
    Each person suggest 5 people you would like to invite into the work to give influence, input, creative force....
  • We can choose an initial focus, create a "dream for compassion in our community". What came up:

Children - elementary and use the arts for expression; a project in 2018 following the Locks of Compassion blast this summer responding to refugees. Paula Smith?
The Key Club in the schools; other suggestions?
The schools - interest in knowing more about the "From Cradle to Career" program, can we be a part of this? - RCTC's Compassion curriculum with Steve Juenemann; using Dr. Amit Sood's SMART training with teachers, school staff. Jean Marvin of the Rochester School Board has offered to be our portal into RPS.
Nurses training because of the increased need for nurses in our health care system

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
