Dear Galiano Island,

It's clear to me now that Active Galiano has reached a certain kind of critical mass. Thank you to all the very many of you who have started putting your own events into the Calendar. Our website wouldn't get anywhere if it wasn't for your contributions. For my part, I'm now ready to start pushing all of our content up as many physical real world flag poles as I can find. If you have any additional ideas about how our data (events, classifieds, ...) can be used, please do let me know!

As for the upcoming stuff, I'll just encourage you to have a look at this month's calendar for the proof. I don't think I entered a single one of these events!

Be sure to look out for Dora's Herbal Collective, Carolyn Mark coming back to Grand Central on the 5th (always a great music show, and it's been too long!)

Now that we've achieved a certain level of use of this calendar and website, I think we're all ready to take it to the next level. How, you ask? With 1) Printouts and 2) a Party, of course!

I'm finally closing in (with the help of James of Hummingbird Pub Barkeep Fame) on "easy do it yourself calendar printouts" that should be appearing on bulletin boards near you some time soon. As you see those popping up, we'll start being able to reach out to those that don't use computers all that much and also to those who don't yet know about Active Galiano.

If you would like to volunteer to help post these printouts on the Ferry Bulletin Boards, or in other prominent places around Galiano, please let me know.

How else are we going to take it to the next level? Why, have a PARTY of course! As many of you have been unfortunate enough to witness, I very much enjoy dancing. So Active Galiano is going to host a Dance, with DJ Fossil at the decks. March 13th at the South Hall. There will also be a lot of energy on the techie side, getting the website spruced up for the party, but there's no need to worry about that stuff for now. ;-)

cheers folks! here comes 2010 in full force!

For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies.
