pizza exchange story is going global:
http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/1372
Long story short - from this and a few other neighbors forums that are on
fire with community engagement, we are launching a huge campaign in St.
Paul to get to 10,000 participants across 16 forums.
We'd like to do the same in Minneapolis, particularly with deeply inclusive
outreach, but we need get St. Paul rolling.
So here is how you can help, simply e-mail/Facebook/tweet:

This is a simple url to a special directory and map of neighbors forums
across Minneapolis and St. Paul.
This three year, 625K grant from the Knight Foundation (based in Miami)
also includes sharing our lessons with other communities, new technology
work, increasing volunteer opportunities, etc. More:

How might this impact this forum?
It will be considerable. It was made very very clear to us that even with
the community value we bring with this model to lower income neighborhoods
and diverse communities (a core part of the grant), that this is our chance
to secure our model for the long-term. More on that later.
Thank you everyone for being a part of this forum and helping spread the
word.
