Join Islesboro Affordable Property  and the Genesis Fund for:

A Conversation with John Abrams: Island  Affordable Housing and Community 
Planning
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 -  all day

On behalf of  Islesboro Affordable Property (IAP) and the  Genesis Fund 
I'm pleased to invite up to _two_ representatives from every  island 
affordable housing organization to attend a day with John Abrams on  
Islesboro. Abrams will travel to Islesboro to meet with the IAP board  
(and other Islesboro community organizations) to discuss plans for a new  
cluster affordable housing development. You are invited to join this  
meeting to learn about the development plans and participate in the  
discussion. An afternoon session with John Abrams will allow for time to  
have more general conversation about island affordable housing  
development in Maine (questions, challenges, updates on current projects  
and progress). The day will include a site visit to IAP  properties.

Much more information about this day, including a detailed  agenda with 
ferry times, will follow. RSVP to me about attendance from  your island 
housing organization no later than Friday, September 12th. All  Rural 
Community Development Initiative (RCDI) grant participants will be  
reimbursed for expenses. The day will be funded through the Genesis  
Fund's RCDI grant. Please be in touch with any questions.

Best  regards,
Liza

John Abrams is cofounder and CEO of South Mountain  Company, a

Vineyard, Massachusetts. He chairs the Island Affordable Housing  Fund 
and is vice-chair of the Island Housing Trust, two nonprofits  dedicated 
to solving the community's affordable housing crisis. For many  years he
