Hyde Park, The Next Generation 2/12/20
Channel: Hyde Park Selectboard
Date: 13/02/2020

The Hyde Park Selectboard & the Hyde Park Community Circle (HPCC) invite you to attend a think
session on Wednesday, February 12 at 6:00 PM at the Municipal Offices’ lower-level meeting
room to see what we can do to develop a roadmap for developing community in Hyde Park.

HPCC was formed in 1999 and has continued to this day for Hyde Park residents and friends who are interested in building community together. HPCC intention: “The Circle is called so that people can think and act creatively together, providing on-going support in a cooperative spirit.” They have offered four events each year:

- Spring: Think Spring – being organized by PIE (Partners in Education) & an HPCC member on March 14, 2020 (PI day!)

- Summer: Jedediah Hyde Ice Cream Social on Main Street

- Fall: Hyde Park Home Day on Main Street

- Winter: Hyde Park Lighting Ceremony – held in North Hyde Park at the Gihon Valley Hall in 2019

A secondary result from holding these events each year over the past twenty years is that traditions have been formed for Hyde Park that people could support & enjoy. But HPCC membership has dwindled for a variety of reasons and the group can’t sustain these events any longer. They approached the Selectboard for help as HPCC is under the town’s umbrella.

The Selectboard and Village Trustees have been working with the Better Connections community study group and that report is almost finished. It seems to us that it would be a great time to come
together to see if we can “pool” our energy and resources to the benefit of all. We can: find out what is already going on (and there are many things); how we can support each other; and, look at new ideas in going forward, finding enough volunteers to get projects completed.

We all want to help create an environment in Hyde Park that is family-friendly, where neighbors
can meet neighbors and old friends can reunite. We know Hyde Park is a great place to live and work, so how do we share that with others?

Please join us on February 12th and help us see what we can do to develop our community.
We can call it: “Hyde Park, the Next Generation!”

We need you, your business and group to help us at this critical time to build community!
