What we found was that a couple folks had started web access, and now we have an intranet that lists everyone, has broadcast and individual email communications, has an events section where anyone can contribute, have rented a room at the Manatee Rec Center for a BYOB and bring an appetizer, a ROMEO group, dine out group and a ladies group have been established....all in two weeks and as a result of passing out a plain paper invitations. The lesson learned is that someone has to take the initiative to get it started and then have a group that wants to get involved and share the load......we have block captains that work with other block captains.
Awesome!!! What village do you live in? How do you start web access for your neighborhood?
