Hoi,
When you start from either starting point, there is a need for credibility.
When activities are started with the clear intention to grow the activities
into a Community Council, you gain respect and credibility. Good intentions
are there aplenty. Many of the people who have shown interest to be actively
involved, are people that I respect for who they are and what they have
done. What I am looking for is that these few good men together are more
then their individual great reputations.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
Great idea we might call it a volunteer council :) Maybe this council can
liaise strongly with Cary in stead of making him the head honcho ...
Thanks,

NB no irony intended !!
There are two different starting points between the Council and the
Committee intentions: Council was intended to represent (somehow)
community's (or communities') will, while committee is a working body
with a particular goal. With or without council, for me it is obvious
that we should have a body which manages volunteers' enthusiasm toward
higher involvement. (And, according to the size of the volunteer
community, this is not a job for one person.)
