Just posted this on http://Facebook.com/Small.Business.Chamber. Please go there and "Like" if you haven't already, "Share", then be sure to watch Inspiration Monday on The Startup Show right here and encourage your neighbors to do the same with as much social network and personal phone call power as you can.

Here, in celebration of Christopher Wren's birthday, is the message that was posted there I hope you'll "Like" and "Share":

Our vision: A healthy small group in every neighborhood. 

Why? To strengthen the grassroots, the voice of the common person in business and politics, in cooperation with everyone, especially with local chamber of commerce, community newspapers, and schools. 

To join just "Like" this Facebook Page, "Share" with your Facebook friends with your note about why you like what we are doing.

Then watch our weekly broadcast tomorrow or any Monday for our new feature "Inspiration Monday" about how we can each take action locally in our own neighborhood to help accomplish this world- wide vision.

What we are trying to make viral is what was first and best expressed over 2000 years ago: "Love God and love your neighbors, those who 1) live right next door, and 2) those who you are directly helping, as God has loved us. +

Media Release-- New Effort to Start Neighborhood Learning Groups.

September 19, 2013
For Immediate Release

SMALL GROUP IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD MISSION OF NEW EFFORT.
Newly active citizens will launch self-directed learning groups in their own neighborhoods.

Denver—Longtime community activist John S Wren announced his new effort to create Go+Groups, neighborhood self-directed learning groups. For information about how you can help your neighborhood start a group contact Wren at (303)861-1447 or John@JohnWren.com.

“Our mission is a healthy group in every neighborhood, across Colorado for now, soon across the country, and we believe eventually around the world. The independent, self-governing, self-supporting groups will be used for educational, social activities and mutual aid.

“We are educational, not political. Like the Denver City Club, of which I’m a past president, we will inform, not reform. Our members will be encouraged to affiliate with a political party; we hope to have members from both major political parties in our groups.

“For groups to be listed in our directory, they will need to agree with our purpose, a focus on creating a Good Living in a culture of life, with recovery, life-long learning, and doing work that provide an adequate income, learning and leisure.

“My neighborhood will be the model for our new program. I’ll be taking action here and writing about it on www.JohnWren.com. Also I’ll be recruiting 3 other neighborhood leaders. That will be our model, 30 days to organize your own neighborhood, help 3 others get started.

“If we are successful we’ll have a big increase in informed participation from political newcomers in the Colorado Caucus in 2014,” said Wren.
