outside, many of us are already starting to look ahead, planning for a busy
spring and summer season.<SPAN> </SPAN>The Island Institute is
responding to a desire expressed at the Maine State Housing Island breakout
session at the Governor's Affordable Housing Conference and the Fellows
Advisors meeting in August to hold an Casco Bay Affordable Housing Forum
for folks to be able to get together and discuss island specific problems,
share strategies and grant opportunities, and brainstorm
solutions.<SPAN> In order to make the 4 hour forum most productive for
you, w</SPAN>e are asking island housing organizations to
identify ideas and needs that could be met during this gathering.
It may be helpful to line up a panel of experts based on your identified
needs. Please respond to the questions below by Friday, February
1st. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
