Building Social Capital: Practical Ways to Create a Sense of Belonging and Wellbeing with a Community

This program is on zoom.

As co-owner of Aqus Cafe in Petaluma, John has been instrumental in creating a real community hub and gathering place. Every evening, there is some group  – or groups – meeting there. Building community is John’s passion and he has been a true leader in the art and success of bringing people together. From dinners for speakers of Italian, French, German or other languages to political organizing for civic events, Aqus is the heart of community. Hosting a community calendar that offers many opportunities for people to gather, john has also been instrumental in organizing meetings that bring neighbors together block by block in Petaluma. Beginning as emergency preparedness but developing into a way for neighbors to meet neighbors, this is an example of building social capital — the best kind of Capital! We will discuss what you need to know and how to go about creating a vibrant community — as well as ways to join community events at Aqus. Originally from Ireland, John has brought the delightful Irish spirt to Sonoma County!
