- I'm wondering (not criticizing or flaming) if it might be a good idea for
- you folks to start a newsgroup or a maillist for the Massachusettes group.
- There's always plenty of room for discussion here in these groups, but it
- might help y'all localize and consolodate the work you're setting out to
- do.
-
- The idea seems to have struck a positive note with quite a few people, and
- even though I'm from Washington, your group plans sound really good to me.
- I think local groups --able to deal with the specifics of a state-- are a
- much better alternative to national orgs who have to deal with a much more
- generalized agenda. A good 'for instance' is FACE in Ohio. I'm always im-
- pressed with their work. As a matter of fact, you might ask Aaron Hoffmeyer
- for some tips on building your organization.
-
- Anyway, just a thought. Does anyone else think this might be a good idea?
