Hi Joan,

I'm delighted you signed up for Location19.org back November 22.  My apology for taking so long to send this welcome to the site.  From all the emails the SWCC Education Committee has been sending out you know we have been busy trying to get State aid for the RCSD to avoid teacher layoffs.  Thanks for passing those on.

I don't know how much you have navigated around in Location19, but be sure to sign-in when you do.  When you're signed in you see all the options you have as a member.

Not only are there many discussions in the main Forum but most of the 69 groups have Discussion Forums of their own.  Fore instance the SW Common Council (SWCC) and the SW Education Forum groups are very active. We use these group to document the activities we are involved in fighting to improve neighborhoods and our schools.  The Events calendar on the main page is Shared by everyone and it displays the next six events in the queue.  You can, of course, also start a discussion about a special event you are organizing and invite input.

To help you navigate and know what you can do, here is a link to information on how to use this site: Introduction to Location19

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

John
