Transition Lummi Island

[Randy Smith]

I've created a new blog http://transitionlummiisland.com/ to get the discussion started on Lummi Island.

Randy,
Excellent blog! I hope lots of people check it out.

When Cindi suggested starting a group, she meant starting a "Group" here on the Transition Whatcom site. Then you can search for members here who might be on or have a relationship to Lummi Island, and invite them to join the group. This then creates a presence where other people come along and search for Lummi Island folk, and from that group page you can redirect them also to your blog site.

You can go to the "Groups" page (http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/groups) and click on "Add a Group".

Once you've created the group, you can invite others to join. Here are the search results I found for members who included "Lummi" somewhere on their profile page:

Hi again. I just noted an error in my comment below. I am texting on a tiny keyboard and hope you understand :-)
If you create the space and get the word out, we can help with the event itself. Of course you could also post it here under the events tab. If you want it as a TW sponsored event and on the top section of the event tab, let us know.
Good luck and let us know how we can support you!

Hi Randy - Thank you for taking the initiative! Could I also suggest creating a group called Transition Lummi Island? Maybe you have already done this and it is waiting approval from an admin person. I also suggest, if you are interested, to host an open discussion or movie and discussion. A couple of the TW Initiating Group folks could come out and facilitate. You just create the space and get the word out and we can show up and help get the word out to your neighbors and friends. I have a couple of friends on Lummi that might be very supportive in helping to create awareness raising events. My phone number is 319-9092.
Another thing you can do is do a search in the members tab for Lummi Island. You may find other LI members are here already.
Again, thank you so much for initiating! I am looking forward to meeting you...again, if I have already!
