Dear Friends,


Thank you to everyone who participated in our last set of meetings and our poll! The results have been impressive indeed. Over the last year, we’ve collected your stories and gathered a sense of what you love most about our town. In the last few weeks, nearly 200 Victor residents voted on which values matter most to the heart and soul of Victor. And our winners are....

Small Town Feel. Family Friendly. Strong and Caring Community. Sustainability. Culturally Historic. Connected to Nature.

We have heard from a diverse cross-section of our community, and we feel confident that these six values represent the heart and soul of our town. But now comes the hard part - we need Victor residents to help us understand exactly what things like 'small town feel' and 'family friendly' mean to this community. If we don't get this part right, our future city plans could focus on the wrong things.

For three evenings in April, Envision Victor will work with Victor residents to more specifically define each of the six values named above. At these fun, interactive workshops residents will share stories of times when they experienced these values in Victor. The stories will help us figure out which physical qualities of our town support the things we love most. The information we gather will allow Envision Victor to turn our general list of six values into city plans on the ground. Each event is free and open to the public, and each will offer the fabulous food of Dining In Catering.

Sign up in advance online by clicking here or by calling (208) 201-3931.

All advance sign-ups will be entered in one of six raffles (one for each value) for great local prizes.

All three Values Definition Workshops will take place from 7-9pm at the Wildwood Room in Victor. All are welcome!

- Monday, April 5: 'Small Town Feel' and 'Sustainability'
- Tuesday, April 6: 'Family Friendly' and 'Culturally Historic'
- Wednesday, April 7: 'Strong/ Caring Community' and 'Connected to Nature'

We hope to see you at one of these events, and we look forward to these next important steps.

Many thanks, and please be in touch with any questions!


Best,
Dahvi Wilson
