Good gathering...apparently men only...but that will soon change. A version of a system/organization was determined with a 20.00 buy in to be a part of the society. No real rules other than no cell phones, possibly a commitee to follow through on "ideas" decided upon, someone to take notes and a one and one half limit to each get together. The next gathering will be Dec 5th, and a topic is to be thrown out there in order to prepare for discussion. Just a note that I don't want to even be considered for "minute taker" the only reason I wrote these down is because it is a real slow day here for me and I needed stimulation and something to achieve. We need an original "sign off"!
Let’s create a place to share good ideas - good ideas that foster good community, good environment, good people, and good times.
To start, this place would be a bi-weekly meeting. A forum to have fun, discuss important/relevant issues, and to discuss problems that we face as a people and a community. This will all be done over a few pints and glasses of wine.
Our ideas will vary widely, from discussions of religion, politics, history, philosophy, and ethics to a dirty joke night or a whiskey tasting. The ideas can and will change from meeting to meeting and hopefully we will hit on some good ideas - good ideas that we’ll put into action and create real results.
But the main idea of the Good Idea Society is to create a “society” of friends where ideas can be safely expressed and explored while having a good time. Not so different from our lives already – just a touch more structure to help bring the ideas to life.
Let’s be serious, but let’s not take ourselves too seriously. Let’s try to do good, but make sure we’re having fun and not getting bogged down in the weight of our ideas.
