The Gracywoods neighborhood group is shaping up nicely. We had a fairly productive meeting last night. I'm involved with the website/communications committee and have started off by registering gracywoods.org and setting up an initial page. I plan to be involved on the technical side and let the creative types come up with design and content.

I hope that the group manages to gain and sustain momentum. It seems that most neighborhood groups/sites lose steam after a couple of years, atrophy and die off. That would be a shame and I hope we can avoid it. We definitely have some people who know how to run a meeting and organize things (yours truly very much excluded).

Personally, I am not suited group leadership like that. You gotta know where you strengths lie and for me it's not in organization. Plus all that committee lingo makes me feel like some Party Functionary -- it's weird to be in a meeting where people talk without geek speak or references to Office Space.
