Doug has a long-time passion for helping rural communities find ways to be prosperous and enduring.  His book is filled with stories of challenges and solutions.  He is considered by many to be a community therapist.\n\n  \n\n\n	On Tuesday\, October 27th at 7:00pm\, several youths will participate in a focus group conducted by Rebecca Bellingham (www.rebeccabellingham.com) to discuss 13 ways the build a healthy community.

We believe that many have lost sight of how to disagree effectively and come to a solution that is best for all.  We can either destroy or strengthen each other with our communication.  The press that Elk Rapids has received in the last few years is an unfortunate record of our incivility and inability to embrace the possibilities.\n\n \n\n \n13 Ways' Personal Meeting Room - Elk River\, Michigan Event\n\n\n	\n		\n			When\n			Thu Oct 22\, 2020 7pm   8:30pm Eastern Time   Detroit\n		\n		\n			Where\n			https://zoom.us/j/4951167545?pwd=UGxMRGNIdDhwZXBKc2duSWczYXFDZz09 (map)\n		\n		\n			Joining info\n			Join with Google Meet\n		\n		\n			 \n			meet.google.com/woj-vazt-czn\n		\n		\n			Calendar\n			bellinghamrick@gmail.com\n		\n		\n			Who\n			\n			\n				\n					\n						 \n						heather13ways@gmail.com - creator\n					\n					\n						 \n						bellinghamrick@gmail.com\n					\n				\n			\n			\n		\n	\n\nmore details  \n\n13 Ways is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nhttps://zoom.us/j/4951167545?pwd=UGxMRGNIdDhwZXBKc2duSWczYXFDZz09\n\nHere is a summary of the book\, 13 Ways to Kill a Community\, by Doug Griffiths.
