A word about working groups. I have added everyone that as of last night had reached about working groups.

If you are in a group – review the list which is in the DOCS section of this group page, right now. Find your group and get in touch with the other people in the group.

If you are NOT in a group – review the list, select a group and get in touch with me. I will help you get in… touch with whoever you need to.

VERY IMPORTANT: as soon as possible (today), I need to hear from each working group. I need each of you to designate a representative who will be available for the admin meetings which are held daily at 11:00am (either in person or on the internet if necessary). I also need a schedule – what day/time (at least once a week) will your group meet at the site? I need to post this information on this page, the website and at the camp as soon as possible.

Working groups are essential to getting things going for OccupyNorfolk. Please get in touch with me ASAP.
