The Will of the People
Somehow, bizarrely, JM and I have now come to be considered a part of "the will of the people."
During my duties this past month as substitute librarian, I have met many citizens of the Possum Kingdom whom I didn't know before. One of them has a plan to create a training center for various metiers that would also function during the non-school months as an adult vacation/learning facility somewhat along the lines of what ElderHostel does in the U.S.
JM and I agreed to become a part of the Association which is going to help to get the center off the ground, and during our inaugural meeting last night, we discovered that we were part of "the will of the people" necessary to go to the various official entities who will be needed to finance the entire operation.
As you can imagine, we found the whole idea of our status quite amusing and couldn't stop making references to it between ourselves throughout the evening.
Still, joking aside, this is exactly the type of activity that the community needs to generate jobs and revenue streams here. There will be students here throughout the school year who will need to be housed and fed and who will certainly want to go out into the village during their spare moments. There will be staff who will need to be engaged for both teaching in the various areas (we're still working out the details) as well as running the housing, cafeteria, etc.
Then, during the off-season, if we can manage to draw people interested in studying various subjects, there will certainly be economic run-off for the village businesses. This could be a nice little earner for Chalabre, as Arthur Dailey might say.
Having never been involved in anything like this before, I have no idea of how likely it is to take off, but hope that it does for the sake of everyone here.
Ciao for now from the Will of the People!
