		<description>I wanted to pass along this article from the Sojouners website titled &quot;Hope and Action in Hard Times&quot; by Mary Nelson. http://blog.sojo.net/2009/02/26/hope-and-action-in-hard-times/
This concise article includes ideas on 1) mapping and mobilizing commmunity assets, 2) focusing on clarity of mission and outcomes, 3) partnering with other groups and it even uses the Raleigh Jobs Parnership (aka nationally as Jobs For Life) as an example which we should consider leveraging as well. This tips could help guide our efforts to efficiently and effectively serve others in our community.</description>
