Johnstown natives who have moved away and people with friends in the area may soon notice Facebook content that promotes living in Johnstown.Â
Targeted Facebook ads are part of a nascent campaign to attract telecommuters to move to Johnstown, which is being promoted for its affordability and outdoorsy appeal.Â
The Cambria Regional Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies and Problem Solutions founder Mike Hruska to launch the campaign, which they named Choose Johnstown!
Are We Becoming Less Compassionate, Less Fully Human?
How Might We Return To What We May Be?
“Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be” - William Shakespeare (The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Act IV, Scene V)
THESIS
We need to reclaim a compassionate worldview and practice that embraces the interconnectivity and interdependence of individuals, communities, nature and the cosmos.
A worldview that encompasses awareness, understanding, reaching out with unconditional acceptance and non-violent communication; that leads to positive emotional contagion, and fuels a growing readiness to serve and heal wherever there is opportunity.
