idealist.org

For Idealists in the Norfolk, Virginia area, this group is designed to help us share our community concerns and interests and to learn about our individual and collective abilities.

Michael, the creator of this group, has hosted Idealist.org start-up meetings in the past and he is willing to host more meet-and-greet meetings. At present, however, there are no plans to meet face-to-face. If this group gains traction online (if other Idealists in the Norfolk area join this group), Michael will schedule meeting times at public libraries in the Norfolk area. To learn about the start-up meetings that Michael hosted in Portland, Oregon, visit the Web site he created for Idealists in the Portland area: www.PDXIdealists.org. You may also learn more about Michael's social sector work by visiting www.ReadingWithMomsAndDads.org. Michael develops online services to help families read aloud short stories and poems to one another during separations, such as separations caused by deployments or business travel.
