You missed it! Don't miss it tomorrow
Our first Sound Off Night of 2005 has been, IMHO, a rousing success. And the best part is we're starting to reach a critical mass where my presence is not required to keep the show going.
As I write, a diverse group (alas, all pretty much Anglo-Saxon, but still diverse in viewpoints) moves into their second hour of spirited discussion of issues of public interest. As a precursor to our March 2 Public Affairs Symposium, it's exactly what we had hoped for.
In fact, it's almost certain that from tonight's exchanges will come the topic for our Spring symposium.
All you many readers who eschew party labels would have been thrilled to be in on tonight's discussion(s). From small acorns grow mighty oaks.
------------------------------------------------------
On the subject of "missing" it, our local newspaper has seemingly decided that our Winter Authors Fortnight is not a series of events worthy of coverage, even in the area events listings. Our first author, Terry Cummins, deserves better. I want to ask all of you to call and e-mail your friends, even if you can't come out yourself on Tuesday night at 7, and let them all know Terry will be here to talk about his life, his writing process, and his book. He'll be signing copies of the book afterward as part of our regular Dessert Night.
I don't know what Ann is cooking up, but she's hard at work right now making ready for a big turnout. Let's show Terry we appreciate him and other local authors and let's find out if the interconnections of the Web can be an effective tool for news dissemination.
