Topics, Issues, Suggestions, etc.
Now that we have had our first meeting, please offer your suggestions on the next 3 things we should focus on as a group. This will help establish a direction and assist in our focus.
Thanks

Get the word out
I can't immediately think of three things, but one thing we could do right away is have a notice about our weekly meetings posted in the newspaper. It's great that Ed is getting the word out to his mailing list. We might be surprised at how much more interest there is out there, if we can just let more people know that we're here, thinking, talking, and planning.

Meetings posted
Great idea Lori!
I wonder if the PDN would list us as a group on the weekly meetings page?
I am putting together a flyer that we can post on community boards in businesses & agencies.
Ed is a tremendous contact for us. Thanks, Rich, for contacting him.

3 things
Can we start a blog asking other sucessful groups (Bellingham for instance)' on the larger website, what they did initially to get the ball rolling? If so, this may be a good idea.
Identify individuals who are already supporting sustainable practices in our community or who can further this cause (environmental, business, political).
Inquire re having these people speak to the group and discuss the potential of joining forces.

Bellingham group, etc.
The website for the Bellingham group is
http://www.sustainableconnections.org/
Here is a link to an interview with one of the organizers

Starting a blog is a great idea.
Ed has a lot of contacts with groups. We should pick his brain.
Inviting other groups to speak about their groups is also a good idea.

Sustainable Bellingham
David MacLeod from Sustainable Bellingham here. The above link to the Peak Moment interview is not related to Sustainable Bellingham, but to Sustainable Connections, which operates in Bellingham. A common mistake, but we're two seperate and distinct groups. Sustainable Connections is a very successful sustainable business network, whereas Sustainable Bellingham is oriented towards advocating for sustainability and relocalization in all aspects of our community and bioregion, and we seek to raise awareness about peak oil, climate change, and other crises that we face.
Our group was galvanized into action after several community screenings of The End of Suburbia in 2004. I think having a film series showing documentaries such as The End of Suburbia, The Power of Community, Escape from Suburbia, and What A Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire is a great way to raise awareness and attract more people to be involved in your group. Networking with others in your community who are already involved in sustainability related activities is essential, and I would recommend having some of these other groups or businesses co-sponsor some events. It gives everyone involved a sense of connectedness and shared purpose.

Sustainable Bellingham
Sid Maroney from Peak Oil Prep - Sustainable Olympic Peninsula here.
Thanks for the clarification. We watched A Crude Awakening last week & plan to watch The Power of Community tomorrow night. Thanks for your ideas. We are right there with you. We will be working on tying various local groups together in recognition of common goals.
