Okay, here is the latest on scheduling a meeting.

We have gotten several responses from people. Most people have indicated that a wednesday evening seems to work out ok. A couple people, however can't meet on Wednesday evening and have suggested a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

QUESTIONS:
1. Should we hold a meeting on Wednesday evening and also another meeting on Saturday or Sunday afternoon?
2. A few people have suggested meeting at the Red Eye. Is this an acceptable meeting location for people? If so, does anyone know if anything is going on there on Wednesday evening that might conflict with our meeting?
3. What time should we meet? Does 7:30 pm sound about right? Should we meet at 8:00? The meeting should last about an hour to an hour and a half. After that, anyone who wants to stick around and keep discussing things would be welcome to do so.

We're really excited about the enthusiastic responses we've gotten from many people. Some people have shared interesting ideas. We've had about 20—so far—who've said they'd like to get involved in an active way or attend a meeting. As of 1:30 p.m. Friday we have 289 MySpace friends, and this is only our 4th day being active.

<P>A big issue is having a 'hang out' place for teens. A place where they can't get into trouble and aren't on the streets. Years ago us teens would hang out in the parking lots around the Red Eye and got into tons of trouble. We need a safe place(s) for teens to hang out. </P>

We do plan to expand the promotion of Moving Saginaw Forward beyond the MySpace universe. It made sense to get started here as this is probably one of the few places where we could reach a big number of Saginaw people—particularly people younger than age 35—all at the same time.

If we can get a core group of committed people to get started and help us plan and define what this organization is all about and what we're going to do, we can go from there.

We're still getting responses from people saying that they would come to a meeting and indicating a day and time. Probably in the next day or two we will make a firm schedule, post it and send out event invites to everyone.
