Adding to 'sense' of community
Original post by Sonicstef
Lately, Ive been seeing a running theme in the tone of our 'complaint' threads. A lot of it seems to have to do with sense of community we feel on these boards.
I know it used to be very strong. The membership was smaller and we all 'knew' each other. With the membership expanding, I think it gets really difficult to keep track of everyone. And as a result, I personally feel like we may be losing something really great.
In any case, I was hoping we could brainstorm ways to get that warm and fuzzy feeling back - at least on the NW board if no where else.
I think GTGs are one way. We had a really sucessful one last month and hopefully we will have another one by the end of summer.
Anyone else have some positive suggestions on how we can do this?
(Or if Im way off base and Im the only one feeling this...tell me Im crazy and to shut up

. I am going to make an effort to be sociable and attend the GTG at Marni's (even if Shamma thinks she is a sicko!!).
Tricia we do live really close so carpooling works for me. Thanks.

Re: Adding to 'sense' of community
I wanted to add something insightful and helpful but I can't think of a darn good suggestion. I do agree about giving everyone on the Newlywed board the benefit of the doubt. I sometimes feel a little left out of the community, but I know that it is purely my own fault because I just don't have the time to post/ FM alot and not because you ladies are excluding me. We just have to go with the flow (how insightful is that? my parents clearly did not waste their money on my college education ![]()
)
Marni- you are brave to host these crazy women at your home!! Do you have insurance? Wish I could be there but driving east from NYC to LI on a Friday evening in the summer is a death wish!
