Hello, SF Idealists!

I'm the "owner" of another Idealist group based in San Francisco--Life's Workers of the World, locatable at this permalink: http://www.idealist.org/en/org/166839-210--and the founder and executive director of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit here in SF named the Life's Work Center. It will be a pleasure to hear from SF idealists by way of this discussion forum. Here's my contribution to the discussion. Looking forward to hearing from others. Tom at LWC
