Notes from 11/9/07 meeting

[lorrain...@gmail.com]

The notes from today's Earth Day meeting at the North Market:

Discussed the name/theme -- "Stand Together" & "Get Busy" were
discussed. "Stand Together" is being used by the anti-tobacco folks
though. "Get Busy" remains popular.

Discussed the planning timeline

Discussed using Google Groups instead of the Progress Ohio listserv we
started using. Google Groups will enable us to upload files and is
streamline-able with other online stuff many of us use. The new Google
Group is at:
http://groups.google.com/group/ColumbusEarthDay2008Planning
To send a message to the group, send an email to:
ColumbusEarthD...@googlegroups.com
Right now the group is set so that anyone in the world can join,
without any special permission/invitation. If at some point we feel
the need to tighten up access we can do that.

Passed around committee signup list. Committees should establish their
own methods of communication within their committee - google groups
are ideal. Anyone can start a google group - to get started, go to
