  18. Selling the idea . . . Be prepared, know what you want, anticipate the questions you WILL be asked. Be open and honest, this is a GOOD program that will benefit the entire community. IT CAN STAND THE LIGHT OF DAY !
  19. The journey to Keya . . . Sold the idea to funders Numerous presentations to stakeholders Took reps to the NYAPRS conference, then Steve Miccio took them to the Rose House. Developed an advisory committee of consumers, folks from UNL, providers and law enforcement
  20. The journey to Keya . . . Sold it to the neighborhood Went door to door with information Held public meetings to answer questions Invited them to join the advisory committee Kept them informed throughout the process Held an open house before grand opening
  21. The journey to Keya . . . Sold it to the City of Lincoln Planning Department recommendation No problem here – they liked the idea City Council for zoning and use permits 1st attempt held up by a “new” neighbor with concerns 2nd attempt successful (the “new” neighbor was the first to testify in favor of approval)
  22. Where we are now . . . We are members of the neighborhood association (even on the Board!) Participate in neighborhood activities (garage sales, celebrations, etc.) Neighbors plant flowers in the spring, decorate the house for the holidays Expansion of services in Lincoln (and hopefully Omaha in the near future !)
