Spot the 'ECHO Friend' and win a prize SPECIAL TO THL CHRONICLE During the month of March, the ECHO Network will give prizes to community members who spot the "ECHO Friend" in various locations around town. The ECHO Friend, originally referred to as the ECHO Man. was creat ed by the Winston-Salem Foundation when they launched their ECHO (Everyone Can Help Out) Fund in 1999/2000. The ECHO Network inherited the Man (a cardboard cutout depicting a portion of the ECHO logo) in 2010. "This w ill be the beginning of a social-capital awareness campaign." explained ECHO Network Executive Director Natasha Gore. "Social capital is this illusive term that actu ally has a lot of relevance to all of our lives. We can strengthen our community just by strengthening the diverse relationships in our community." The ECHO Network has offered small-scale social capi tal programs and activities since 2003. when the Foundation created the ECHO Council. Programs such as StoryLine and the Timebank continue to grow as ECHO seeks more recog nition and understanding of the value of building social cap ital. Community members who spot the ECHO Friend should go to the ECHO Web site and look for the "Where's ECHO" link. Prizes will vary based on the location of the ECHO Friend. The ECHO Network is a nonprofit dedicated to helping residents build trusting relationships, especially across lines of difference. Submitted Photo Natasha Gore with the "ECHO Friend."
