Hi James,

I'm delighted to read you are so interested in getting involved in our neighborhoods. You are on the eastern end of the Changing of the Scenes neighborhood and you may want to join that group on Location19.  John Lightfoot and Lynnette Robinson, are involved with that Neighborhood Association.  To the north you have the Susan B Anthony Neighborhood Which has a Susan B Anthony Neighborhood Association group also.  Dawn Noto is the president of that association.  To the south you have the PLEX neighborhood with Dorothy Hall as president.  Their group on Location19 is Plymouth-Exchange Neighborhood Association.

Now that you are a member of Location19, when you sign-in, you can post to the Discussion Forum, Events calendar and Blog section and you can join any of the various groups to participate in the discussions there.  Also, if you want to contact members of the Associations I mentioned above you can message them via the Location19 "Send a Message" option on their profile pages.  You can also indicate your plan to attend events posted in the Event calendar by using the RSVP box in the opened event.  Check out A Brief Overview on Location19 Structure to get familiar with what's where.  In the tabs, Be sure to check out the "All Groups - Icons" sub-tab.  We are currently up to 67 groups and over 630 members.  Only the most recently added 20 groups are shown in the column to the right.

To join a group such as SW Education Forum, click on the group, then in the upper right of the group page just under the banner picture, next to your name click on +Join SW Education Forum and you are a group member!  Being a group member lets you post to the group and also permits you to receive email notifications from that group about events and other info that may not be posted on Location19 itself.  

There is a ton of information you can search for and read through on Location19.  Be sure you make use of the search options.

Please post your picture.  Step by step instructions can be found here How to Post Your Picture - It's easy!

It' a good idea to subscribe to the Daily Email Digest so you receive an update of new activity on the site even if you don't check Location19 every day.  You can also find a list of new information posted by looking at the Latest Activity column on the Main page.

I look forward to your participation. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call Marian or me at 328-4271.
