Dear Former Volunteers,
Greetings from JVC Northwest! Earlier this year, over 800 former volunteers shared
their thoughts and experience with us through the Former Jesuit Volunteer (FJV) 
Survey. As a result, we have many wonderful stories and ideas to enrich our former
volunteer community across the country.
In the FJV Survey, former volunteers overwhelmingly noted an interest in book clubs
to bring FJVs together for community and conversation. As we prepare for our 60th
Anniversary in 2016, celebrating the values of JVC Northwest with former volunteers
across the country is one of our highest priorities. With a high concentration of
FJVs in your area, we are hopeful that your community would have interest in gathering
around a common book during one of our first projects to launch our 60th Celebration:
JVC Northwest Book Clubs!
We'd love for you to be a part of this project! Please read on and consider being
involved in one of the ways explained below!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go, Richard Rohr

The first book club gathering will focus on the value of Simple Living. Suggestions
were gathered from FJVS, current Jesuit Volunteers, JV EnCorps (JVEs), and JVC Northwest
staff.
Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go by Richard Rohr was selected as our first 
book. In it, Rohr explores St. Francis' call to the simple life that helps one to
find joy and build community.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Book Club Roles
How would you like to be involved?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are several ways to be involved in the JVC Northwest Book Club. Read below
 for more information about each role: Host, Facilitator, and Participant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is the role of a Book Club Host?

Our goal is to have many groups across the country gather to discuss a book focused
on one of the four core values of JVC Northwest. Hosts offer a space for these gatherings
to occur. They can be in a private home, church, library or other community gathering
space, or a local restaurant/coffee shop. The host also communicates with group 
members about logistics of the group meeting (date, time, location, etc). The role
of host is to provide a welcoming space for folks to meet and gather to discuss 
the reading and build community. A book club host may also serve as facilitator 
(see below for facilitator description). Interested in serving as a Book Club Host
for your city? Email Sarah at [email-masked] [mailto:[email-masked]]
with your name and city, state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is the role of a Book Club Facilitator?

JVC Northwest will provide all the facilitation tools necessary to guide a fruitful
discussion around the chosen book. Every book club will receive a facilitator's 
guide complete with tips for creating expectations for the group, introductions 
and icebreakers, opening and closing reflections, and discussion questions to generate
thoughtful conversation. Facilitation can be led by one person, rotate between multiple
group members, or the host can serve as the facilitator- whatever best meets the
 needs of your group. A facilitator may also serve as a book club host. Interested
in serving as a Book Club Facilitator for your city or a virtual book club for those
who are not able to meet in person? Email Sarah at [email-masked] [mailto:[email-masked]]
with your name and city, state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is the role of a Book Club Participant?

Read, reflect, discuss, and enjoy! The role of the participant is to read the selected
text and join the discussion.  This role is perfect for someone looking to engage
more deeply in text and conversation, and for people who may want to understand 
a little more of the process before potentially taking on a leadership role in a
 future club. It is a great opportunity to meet other members of the JVC Northwest
Community in a values-centered discussion. Interested in joining a book club in 
your city or a virtual club? Registration for the first book club will be available
in January 2016!
