Building a Community Assoc/Alliance/Org
Since JLNA (Jack London Neighborhood Assoc) is gone, it's time for us to move forward and start with something new. Now we have to figure out how to define that something new and figure out how to make it all come together.

Our first few important tasks are to come up with a mission statement and name for the organization.

If you would like to be a part of this endeavor, log on to the Jack London District Forum.

Our next meeting will be held, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, at 7PM, at SIERRA CONDOS located at 311 Oak Street. Check in at the front desk in the lobby. Thanks to Ken Spiller for hosting (again)! Please rsvp so that we know how many to expect by emailing joanna@jacklondondistrict.org or by calling Joanna at (510) 893-4100. As always I will provide cheap wine and perhaps a few could bring something to nibble on.

To get you started, here is the list the words that were brought up during the initial gathering and I'm going to ask that you post to the forum your thoughts about word choices and perhaps you have more to add to the list. The more, the merrier!
