How will I report my progress?

Practice:Before the next meeting, use this commitment chart to record your progress. In the boxes below, write “Yes,” “No,” or the number of times you kept the commitment.

Used power statements with at least 20 people (Write #)	Practiced Foundation principle and taught it to family (Yes/No)	Added to savings (Yes/No)	Reported to action partner (Yes/No)

Read:Also, remember to track your personal expenses on the back of your My Path to Self-Reliance booklet.

At our next group meeting, the facilitator will draw a commitment chart on the board (like the one above). We will arrive 10 minutes before the meeting begins and write our progress on the chart.

Choose someone to facilitate the My Foundation topic at our next meeting. Remind him or her to follow the material and not to bring in extra material. (Don’t know how to facilitate a My Foundation topic? Read page 13 and the inside front cover.)

Ask someone to offer the closing prayer.
