Hi folks- In case you haven't heard, E-Democracy has a summer team going door-to-door in Dayton's Bluff this week and helping people get signed up for this forum. Between the ten of us, we speak Somali, Hmong, Oromo, Spanish, and Vietnamese, and we've been meeting a lot of great people in the neighborhood who haven't yet heard of E-Democracy and are excited to start joining these forums. Unfortunately, we're probably due for more rain that may cut our time short this week, but I'm sure we will prevail. Today our team member Vang Pao Lee brought a whole baseball team that he coaches to help translate Hmong for us. Here's a shot of us before everyone headed out to make the rounds. If you can see how much fun we're having from the picture and would like to help us door knock in your neighborhood, just drop us a line. We were even given some free cucumbers from a nice family's garden, so there's always the possibility of additional perks, outside of the satisfaction of helping to build a stronger community. I hope everyone's having a good summer and staying hydrated. take care, Dan Gordon E-Democracy Summer Outreach Team
