Thursday Nov 5 - see message below and if you care about the future of downtown Oshkosh consider attending:
While the first two were about local race relations in May and then agriculture and local food in August, this Views & Brews will be a Downtown Summit: Marketplace and Community Conversation about issues related to the vitality of and development in downtown Oshkosh and the nearby riverfront. The event will be held in the atrium of the City Center downtown (enter by Becket’s restaurant, just before you would cross the Jackson St. bridge heading south).
From 5:00-6:30 p.m., downtown stakeholders (downtown businesses and organizations) will have tables at the Marketplace portion of the event. Then, from 6:30 to 8:30, there will be a facilitated community conversation about various issues related to the topic, with a mix of panel discussion and informal conversation at tables. Chancellor Wells and UWO student Jose Navarro, along with Oshkosh City Manager Mark Rohloff, local business owners and a number of other downtown stakeholders are slated to be panelists. Participants are invited to stick around after the formal discussion to socialize and continue the conversation.
Views & Brews will once again be facilitated by new local grassroots group Square One and hosted by Becket’s (which will be selling food and drink), with new sponsorship from the American Democracy Project at UWO.
