http://jp.neighborsforneighbors.org/. Join a group, and other of
interest or start a new one! Also check out the forums!

In two weeks I will be deleting this group so be sure to join in a
hurry, I've created a JP Joggers group for you, so all you need to do
is join the group. I'll also be sending you an invitation!

Happy shoveling,

Joseph

Neighbors,

It's Joseph from Neighbors for Neighbors. I write to invite you to our
Community Organizing Expo on Tuesday, October 9, from 6 to 9 PM. You
are also invited to Neighbortron - Party for a Purpose, an electronic
dance party fundraiser for Neighbors for Neighbors, Friday, October
12, 10 to 1 AM, $5 before 11 PM, $10 After. Both events will be at the
Milky Way Lounge and Lanes, 403 Centre, JP.

We also need volunteers to help greet and get people on our mailing
list for the Expo. If you are willing to spend one hour welcoming and
reaching out to your neighbors please send an email to
jporcelli@....

On December 31st at Midnight I started The Nametag Project, a social experiment in which I committed to wear a nametag everyday, everywhere I went, all the time, for the entire year of 2007.  In addition, I am encouraging others to join me and wear their own nametags.  The mission is to have everyone in the world think of, and treat everyone else as a neighbor.

On Sunday, July 15, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m , the Boston Police Department (my employer) other "Nametaggers", and I will be handing out 40,000 nametags to game-goers and anyone around Fenway Park . This will be the largest, most fun, and coolest, community building initiative our city has ever undertaken and we need your help to pull it off. To register to volunteer please fill out this form.

Here are five reasons why you should get involved:

1. We are going to make history
2. We are going to be on national TV
3. You will be apart of an international movement to get to people to talk to and care about each other.
4. There will be a kick-ass party at Game On at 82 Lansdowne, starting at 2:30 PM . If you help nametag you're invited!
5. You'll meet some of the coolest and positive minded people in Boston .

Here's some background on The Nametag Project:

My initial idea was to see what would happen if I I wore a nametag for a year (back then it was called The Nametag for a year Social Experiment.) It turned out that people loved the idea and started joining me.  I realized we were on to something big and  renamed it "The Nametag Project". The project has been featured in the Boston Globe , Miami Herald on CBS, and recently on the Hallmark Channel's cable show New Mornings (scroll to the bottom to see the segment).

Now, half way through the year, the project has taken on a whole new life. I am proud and humbled that my employer, the Boston Police Department and City of Boston along with the Boston Red Sox have joined forces with me to bring the world the "National Night Out Nametag Day event at Fenway Park" on Sunday, July 15th when the Boston Red Sox play, and will beat, the Toronto Blue Jays. Again, to pull this off we need 106 of you to help by volunteering to pass out nametags from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM on Sunday, July 15 on corners surounding Fenway Park. After we're done handing out nametags we will go to Game On ( 82 Lansdowne Street ) for a volunteer party and watch the game. To register please fill out this form.

If you do choose to volunteer, you will be contacted by Allison Rogers, the event manager, who will confirm your registration and send you more information about the event, where to show up, what to wear, etc. If you do not want to or cannot volunteer please forward this email to everyone you know, post it to your blogs, website and share the love.

I'd very much appreciate your partnership at this event and help with outreach as we still need about 40 more volunteer.

Hi all,

I currently run on my own earlier and then meet a friend by the Stony
Brook T at 7:30 and run up to the boathouse, do one lap around the pond
and then come home.

I'm getting ready to do some structered training but I'm definitely up
for some social running for the next month and perhaps beyond.

I don't have much evening availability but I'm running 7 mornings/week
and would love to meet-up with people for either an early run or a later
(and slower) lap.  Even if we're at different paces, it can be nice to
meet and say hi and know some of the other runners at the pond.

namaste,

Marty Wrin

My husband and I typically jog around the pond on Monday evenings and
sometimes Wednesdays (we aren't morning people). We usually run around
6:30 pm and try to go faster than 10 minute miles (although we don't
always achieve that). We are happy to meet up with others.

I realize it isn't sensible, but has anyone ever encountered "trouble"
while jogging alone around the pond at night?

I am interested in running on Saturday mornings somewhere between
10-12.  Does that sound good to anyone?
Sorry if this comes twice.

- Chris

I haven't heard from the group in quite a while, and I'm wondering

We'll be jogging on Tuesday. Come meet us at 7am at the Boathouse if
you're interested. Debra, we missed you on Friday. I'm sorry I didn't
sent a confirmation e-mail. Do you want to try for another day in
addition to Tuesday?

I hope to be able to make the Friday group. Definitely
a better day for me than Tuesdays.
Debra

HI All-
Leise and I figured it was best not to run tomorrow morning, on
account of the heat forecast.
Is anyone up for a run on Friday morning?
For those just joining the group, we usually meet Tuesdays 7am at the
boathouse.
Let me know if you can make Friday or next Tuesday, and we'll make
sure to keep an eye out for you.
Thanks- Melissa

Hi All-
We're planning to meet for a jog tomorrow (Tues) morning at 7 am at
the Boathouse. Come join us for as much or as little of the run as you
like.
Hope to see some new faces there.
Take Care-
Melissa

Hi All-
We're going to meet for our usual jog tomorrow morning at 7 at the
Boathouse. Our practice is to run 2 -3 loops (some run 2, some run 3)
that are about 1.5 miles long, each time swinging by the boathouse, so
you can drop off any time if the heat gets to you.
See you there!

Melissa,
I'm interested, but can't do tomorrow; it is my
morning when I have both kids and husband is at an
early meeting. the logistics of that plus a run are
daunting!
However, I do have a few questions:
How far do you run? Is there a set day or time?
Thanks,
Debra

Hi Debra-
It would be great if you want to join us whenever it works for you. We
usually run on Tuesdays, but we're open to suggestion.  We run
together once around the pond and once around the pond/river loop just
north of the pond, which is a bit longer than one loop around the
pond. Leise, and others if there are any, then usually run another
loop around the pond, but I peel off at that point. In short, you can
do as much or as little as you want, because we keep looping back near
the boathouse.
Leise and I are going to try to run this Thursday if you are
interested. I'll also send out a group e-mail for next Tuesday.
Melissa

Hi All-
Leise and I are meeting at 7am at the Boathouse. Come join us if you
can. And, if you can't join us tomorrow, let me know if you are still
interested in recieving e-mails about runs.
Thanks- Melissa

HI All-
If it is raining lightly tomorrow morning, we still plan to jog.
Pouring rain will keep us at home. If it's questionable, one of us will
send out an e-mail in the morning.
Thanks- Melissa

HI All-
At least a couple of us are planning to run this Thursday am, starting
at 7 am at the Boathouse. Come join us!
I'm sending this message, b/c Joseph seems to have assigned me the
moderator role of this yahoo group, but I haven't volunteered to run
the group. Is someone interested? Willing?
Let us know.
Thanks-
Melissa
