Blogs Are Like Sharks...

If they don't keep moving, they'll die.

Alright, I didn't make that one up. But, it applies to the fact that I haven't posted a thing on this blog in about a month. Actually, longer than that. I think Kate posted something last. Anyway, it's been too long for this blog to sit stale. But there is a good reason. Well, maybe...

The Greenville Forward World Headquarters has been busy. This is nothing really unusual, since we don't really have a "busy season." We pretty much stay that way all the time. But, the past couple of weeks/months/etc. have been full of planning, planning, planning.


Health Assessment...
On October 23rd, at 10AM at The University Center Auditorium in McAlister Square, Greenville Forward, along with The United Way, Bon Secours St. Francis, The Greenville Hospital System, Peidmont Healthcare Foundation and the South Carolina Business Coalition on Health, will release it's findings from the third area health reassessment. The study, conducted over the past year, shows that, despite increased expanding health systems and easier access to health care, the number of medically underserved and underinsured poeple is still growing in Greenville County.

Momentum...
On October 30th, Greenville Forward presents it's 3rd Momentum Series, focusing on Entertainment In Greenville. As Greenville continues to develop into a vibrant, culturally rich community, the conversation often turns to how planners and county leaders can enhance the area's entertainment options. Whether it's providing more live music venues, increasing public entertainment choices for families or providing a better cross-section of entertainment options, Greenville Forward invites the public to engage in a small-group style discussion about these topics and more at this month's Momentum Series.
The event will feature conversation leader Gene Krcelic, formerly of OMG Music, and be held on Thursday, Oct. 30, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Innovate Building Conference Center in downtown Greenville. Space is limited to the first 30 people who register at rsvp@greenvilleforward.com, and a box lunch and beverage is provided for $8.


Tomorrow Night...
On November 6th, Greenville Forward is hosting TOMORROW NIGHT, a celebration of Greenville's future at the Upcountry History Museum starting at 7:00. Featuring Greenville's hottest new band sensation, Hit Mob 7, and a few other surprises, this event will surely become one of Greenville's "must do" celebrations. We will also celebration the work of some "Heroes Next Door," people in the community who are unselfishly living the ideals of Vision 2025. If you would like to nominate someone, send us an email with their name and a paragraph or two of the work they are doing. If you would like to get an invitation, email us at mailto:bkoonce@greenvilleforward.com. An investment of $60 per person will get you into the extravaganza.


So, as you can see, we've been a bit busy. And, that is just the tip of the iceberg. We are hoping to bring many more things to Greenville, while we make sure that we are all thinking toward 2025...
