We've made it to 160 members on the Standish and Ericsson Neighbors Forum! * To Join: http://e-democracy.org/se * You must click the verify link in the e-mail confirmation you receive upon joining. Please pass this invite on to just one person and watch us grow. If your neighbor is hesitant, show them the introductions from the everyday people down the block: * Intros: http://forums.e-democracy.org/r/topic/6E62meCGeBTFA1W2r8WUVz The full invite: Something amazing is happening. Over 160 neighbors across the Standish and Ericsson neighborhoods are coming together online to build a stronger community in the "real world". Join me on the forum as it opens in the coming days. Once there are 200 of us, we will average one household per block. At 400, we will have 10 percent of the households in regular contact. This online forum encourages e-mail or web-based (your choice) sharing of announcements and discussion of specifically local topics. From schools and parks to crime and local environment, we can now communicate across our neighborhoods in minutes. Unlike most online forms, the host E-Democracy.Org requires civility and the use of real names. Participation is worth your time, on your own time. Because we live near one another, conversations will flow back and forth, offline and back online. Each of us is a connecting point to dozens of people on our block, on a walk, or at the park. Where do I join? Visit: http://e-democracy.org/se Select "register and join" to sign-up. You MUST click the verification link set to your e-mail to receive and make posts. As a default, all members receive individual posts by e-mail and may publish text, photos, etc. by simply posting to "mpls-staneric@forums.e-democracy.org". A daily digest version simply listing topics with links read posts via website is available as well. Two important rules keep message volume reasonable - no one may post more than twice in 24 hours and announcements must be either about events within the geographic boundaries of the neighborhoods or be made by direct participants in area community activities (e.g. an invitation to a Hiawatha Lions pancake breakfast hosted in East Nokomis can only be made by a Lions member who lives or works in Standish or Ericsson for example). The forum has two volunteer co-hosts, Victoria Ford (Standish) and Steven Clift (Ericsson) and they can privately answer any questions you might have - <email obscured> Please spread the word by passing this message on your to neighbors. P.S. Additional background on neighborhood forums across the Twin Cities is available - http://e-democracy.org/nf -. Also, while this forum is not officially sponsored by the Standish Ericsson Neighborhood Association, they are participating in its promotion. E-Democracy.Org, is experienced in supporting volunteers who host similar dynamic forums in over ten communities across three countries.
