Top 3 Points for Future Action:

Plan to Plan- Find & bring in a volunteer with PR experience to help us plan the agenda and activities of the group; chair will lead this effort.
"When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love."
Share- Begin the practice of sharing articles & media pertinent to our discussions which we may then share with the public.
"Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed." - Alfred North Whitehead
Utilize Human Capital- During the planning, focus intensely on ensuring that as volunteers become involved there is opportunity to actively contribute and be rewarded by achieving tangible results.
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
