-People are in "survival" mode
-There is a lot of chaos and noise
-What is mail chimp?
-Sponsors.... universities? professional organizations? Who actually has money these days?
-Let's try not to be a part of "FREE!!! But wait let me sell you something!"
-What are the benefits of being a non-profit and why?
-Having a Learning Revolution Heading and some way to connect us all. Same email signatures?

I need to re-write the description for the website itself, and I think that could be the same. I'd like a few days to let this incredibly productive conversation settle a little for me and to think about how the re-imagined site will look. :) Thanks for such INCREDIBLE energy.
I meant it when I signed "Enthusiastically" !!!
