Great suggestions Kara. The problem is getting people to come. Any ideas on promoting something like this to gain an interest from those who normally won't bother?

We used to have a Soulforce group in S.F. But living in the gay mecca there were two problems - one too much competition, and two, too much apathy. We were never able to mobilize more than about a dozen to two dozen folks for anything.

One of the things I tried to do was use every LGBT elist I could find to promote stuff. We are planning a fund raiser here in the East Bay for Soulforce in July when Mel will be here teaching a course at PSR. I surely wish I had a magic wand to get folks off their butts
