[Occupymendocino] It dawned on me how useful an office space could be (5 AM rambling)

[Carrie Durkee]

Hello all
As much as I like the idea, and thanks to everyone for wanting it to come to fruition (Linda offering to pay some of my costs, etc. )…I think I have to bow out. I do not want to do it as the sole representative of MTA. I feel like I have my plate full with what is scheduled for MTA…and unable to accept more responsibility by maintaining an office space as well. 
Thank you for all your efforts in all you do. I wish you the best. 
Carrie

It's been more than a year now and I believe we could do it now ...  Ann

If the Ocean Protection Coalition or any other group protecting the environment becomes part of this initial effort, there needs to some space in the name in reference to saving our planet. How about The Community Commons?
