permaculture

[Steve Hart <stevenlawrencehart@gmail.com>]

Wow...Spira..what a job. All the power to you. It needs to be put out to a
wider audience and all audiences need to be invited in a positive way to
become friends of the school. We need to hear a lot more details to figure
out what inputs are needed.

I assume you have put it out to all you networks already ?

Is there a specific website set up and is there a log in and blog for on
going discussion ? Perhaps a fully detailed strategic plan is needed. Have
you created this yet ? Perhaps a collective brainstorm on skype could
assist. What is your strategic plan so far ? Are you steering this campaign
or part of a committee / collective / group ?

What's the full history ? Why has it come to this state ? Have you
considered amalgamating or setting up as a satellite or in collaboration ?

Look fwd to more lots more detailed information.
