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
