Meeting #17 recap

We held meeting #17 at the 1/2 Lounge and discussed two topics: 1) Bringing a good idea to life. 2) reveal '07 predictions.

THE GOOD IDEA:
We are moving forward with the children's book drive. Benjamin will confirm if Barnes/Wheeler need them. If not, we'll explore other local organizations with need.
Action steps:
> Ross to register goodideasociety.com (done)
> Miya to create Good Idea Society logo
> Benjamin to confirm schools needs.
> At our next meeting, we will work up the actual plan to promote, collect, and distribute the books.
