Thanks. ADC is on life support in the Midwest, so it's strange to hear it talked of as a "big, established" org. That makes sense. Thanks.

We didn't reach out to either group for this event, however. In my experience, reaching out to big, established agencies can increase the pomp and decrease the actual connections and relationship that goes on. So, we went for a very grassroots approach here and left the big orgs out. It was important to the whole committee to show that this can be done in a grassroots, person to person, way.

Is there a functioning ADC chapter in the area? The org has so badly atrophied the past decade, across the country, but I would have thought in the New York area, where they have such a huge potential membership base, they would be all over a project like this. And second, did anyone happen to ask CAIR to participate? If yes, what was their response? If not, why not? Just a question, to those of you in New York.
