On Wednesday, November 7 members of RVRC are invited to attend the meeting of the SE Seattle Crime Prevention Council, held at SE Seattle Seniors Center at Rainier Avenue and Holly street. 

Beyond opening the doors of a school in the morning and putting the kids in front of a teacher, what drives educational results?  We're going to hear some data-driven answers from Anthony Shoecraft, whose organization Community Center for Educational Results is crafting a region-wide initiative to improve kids outcomes.  Want better pre-school learning?  Want better trade school learning?  Want to drop the dropout rate?  Want more kids to get into college?

Location:  Paris Cafe, 5020 Rainier Avenue South (one block South of Tutta Bella in Columbia City).  Map Link
Meeting Starts:  5:30 p.m.

North Dakota's state bank is credited by many with providing a financial foundation that helped their economy sail through the collapse of 2008 with relatively little shock to their citizens.  State Representative Bob Hasagawa has proposed that Washington State create such a funding organization.  David Spring is one of the supporters of this concept, and he'll give you a quick glimpse of how such a bank might work, the benefits, and why our local banking industry is nervous.

 
Chris Eide is the founder and executive director of Teachers United, and is an experienced public middle school teacher. Chris was also a founding teacher at KIPP:STAR College Prep Charter School in Harlem (part of the innovative KIPP charter school network highlighted in the film "Waiting For Superman").  
Please join us to hear from Chris on a variety of education reform topics such as:
-What makes charter schools like KIPP so successful?

Kawali Grill is located at 5300 South Rainier Avenue - between Columbia City and Hillman City - one door South of the venerable Rainier Chamber of Commerce Office.
 
Business for this meeting:
1. Clarification of the decision of the board about evening meetings.  What location in Rainier Valley suits the needs of an evening meeting?  Are we providing a dinner offering of some sort?  What's the budget provided by the club's budget - i.e. $$ per person?
