Tiiis service will arrange lectures and informal discussions for local organizations and interested parties who would like to find out how the various federal, slate and private programs function and how they affect, the local areas.

One of the more important functions of the community action group is that there 'lie a constant citizens education carried on so that those people really interested in their town's future will be informed as to the progress of recent local projects, both public and private. GBACRA feels thai the. benefits of such a program would be twofold: It would lessen the reluctance, of many people tn get in and help their communities. Through a better understanding of the need fnr many people to be aware of the work being done or that could be clone for the area, more groups will not feel uneasy about entering the field of community action Also with this greater amount of interest coming from citizens in their future, local officials will start paying more attention to planning large scale projects that, will greatly improve the community instead of continuing small efforts that contribute little to the overall future improvement of the area.
