[Ssf] Including...

[Alice Collins]

Hi Dan,
I'm feeling very inspired by all the ideas that keep pouring forth.
For one, I'd be keen on doing some writing, maybe local history stuff.
 But I'd like to meet up and talk about possibilities ( next meeting Jan
20th, still at New Roots?). That's my way of moving forward with new ideas.
Love to all, alice.
