Hi Everyone;

I was planning on sending out a message asking about scheduling a meeting 
before Labor Day.   So let me take this opportunity to sound out everyone as to 
a possible date.  At a previous meeting, someone had suggested setting up a 
regular meeting date and time for whoever might be able to attend, possibly the 
third Sunday, so let me start by suggesting a meeting in Wooster on Sunday, 
August 16.  Maybe we should make this simpler than in the past so people won't 
feel that it's a major thing and be hesitant to attend.  I'm thinking we skip 
the pot luck dinner part of it, make it earlier, say 2 pm, and try and see if 
we can get a room somewhere neutral, like the U-U church in Wooster.  If there 
is enough interest, I'll contact the woman I talked to who belongs to the 
church and see if we can get space there on that date.

I'll be out of town from Wednesday through Sunday next week, the 22nd to the 
26th.  Please give this some thought and let me know in the next week or so if 
we can get a majority of the group for this.  

Peace,

Paul

Hi everybody, sorry for the delay getting back to you. Work!  I would be 
aviliable July 19th or Aug 2nd and 9th for a meeting.  I think we need to get 
together and talk about what direction we want the group to go.  I also think 
we need to find another place to meet, how about the UU church in Wooster?  
Paul could you check with your friend and see if that would be OK?
 
May the great spirit smile upon you
Sarena

which parts of what we need to figure out, giving summaries, useful resources, 
brainstorming, research... when i check back in on july 22 or so, i want to see 
something that looks plausibly like better way!  ready, set, GO!!!!.

Hi All;

Paul here.  This is partly to test my ability to use the list serve.  As Kip 
said, I've been out to Wooster several time in the past month, mostly looking 
for an apartment there.  I have done some looking for farm land, and in-fact, 
got a tour of a farm SW of town in Wooster Twp., that might be suitable, with a 
great deal of negotiating over price.  

If anyone knows someone with an apartment, or in-law suite in the Wooster area 
they are interested in renting, I'm looking.  Preferably, I'm looking for 
something either ground floor or basement, in a decent part of town, or on the 
edge of town.  Anything I've looked at in the area of the college has been 
really old and pretty trashy.  Usually, it's an old two story converted into up 
and down apartments, and the neighborhood generally does not look like 
somewhere I'd want to go away and leave my stuff.

I'd like to be living in Wooster by Labor
 Day.  I'm hoping that my being in town and dealing with people there will lead 
to some contacts on land.  I have also met with a woman who contacted Kip and 
Beth through the FIC listing.  She is well-connected in the community 
politically, and through the U-U Church, and is more than willing to lend us 
assistance, if not become part of the community.  I have hope that her 
assistance will enable us to get more local involvement with people in Wooster 
who would like to see Betterway become a reality.

Hope your Summer is safe.  Stay in touch.

Peace,

Paul

Hi Everyone, 


There has been very little activity of late & I'd like to hear from everyone on 
the list as to "where they are" with regard to getting together for a meeting 
before Fall.  Paul has done some looking around out in the Wooster area, but 
not much else going on. 


Beth & I are in the middle of dealing with a family situation that will 
probably result in our purchase of the house we currently occupy, so our 
attention is on dealing with that right now - whatever resolution takes place 
has to be completed by October.


Other than that, it's going to be a busy summer for us, with many weekends 
already committed.


So, how is everyone else doing?


Kip

Folks:
 
I'm interested if any outcomes came out of the meeting.  I wish we could have 
attended.  I ended up working all night Friday, all day Saturday and most of  
Sunday and All day today (Memorial).  It has been very stressful as a lot of 
the work was because I made a significant error (in my opinion).
 
We could not have had better weather, for those of you who got outside!
