Booth Centre’s Post

Ever wonder what the items donated to #ShareOurSpare mean to the families and kids who receive them? We hear frequently from partners that for their clients, receiving items feels like they’re not in it alone! They feel apart of a community that cares about them and their kids, even without knowing them personally. The impact of feeling cared about, seen, supported and important is hard to describe in words, but if you’ve felt it, you know how powerful it is!

There's a vibrant conversation flourishing within this platform, a dialogue rich with the exchange of knowledge—an essential cornerstone of collective growth and understanding. Yet, the essence of our discourse must evolve beyond mere conversation. We stand at a pivotal juncture, where the imperative is not merely to discuss, but to act. This call to action transcends the conventional postmodern narrative of passive resistance or symbolic gestures. We are ushered into the realm of metamodern action—a realm where the boldness to undertake significant risks, the commitment to a vision, and the drive to manifest that vision into reality, are paramount. What I advocate for is a departure from the elitist practices that have long overshadowed genuine progress. The extravagant gatherings hosted by gatekeepers, accessible only to those buoyed by privilege, or the endless theoretical musings of academics who engage in circular debates about the definitions and boundaries of metamodernism, no longer suffice. We are on the cusp of a transformative era—an era where the "regular" individual, empowered by a vision of a more equitable and compassionate world, becomes the architect of change. This is the dawn of our future—a future sculpted not by those who hold the reins of power through privilege or academic pontification, but by the collective action of individuals who dare to dream of a better world. It is a future where every step taken towards improvement, no matter how small, contributes to the larger tapestry of communal well-being. In this light, I am privileged to bear witness to the endeavors of individuals like Friday, whose courage and audacity shine as beacons of hope and inspiration. Friday's daily efforts to enhance our collective existence exemplify the metamodern spirit of taking tangible steps towards the betterment of all. This, indeed, is the essence of metamodern action: the intersection where vision, courage, and practical steps converge to forge a future that aligns with our deepest aspirations for a more inclusive, just, and thriving world for everyone.

Stable housing is crucial for businesses and for the people who depend on these businesses for their survival and well-being. The housing issue affects staple jobs in our community, including nurses, teachers, firefighters, and many industries that are essential - people who, in the past, would have little trouble finding a place to live in Bend. As your Chamber, we are leading the development and implementation of initiatives that will bring more affordable housing to our local workforce. But we can't do it alone. Would you consider making a tax-deductible donation today to support workforce housing? Click here to find out more or to donate: https://zurl.co/UoAD

Does your family know about your decision to be an #OrganDonor? Contrary to popular belief, just signing a donor card or checking a box on your driver's license doesn't guarantee that your wishes will be carried out. To be certain that your organs will be donated, it is vital that you tell your family about your decision to give the #GiftOfLife. Doing so in writing ensures that your wishes will be considered. If your loved ones know of your plans to be a donor, it will be easier for them to give consent when the time comes. Learn more at buff.ly/4a3p3cB.
