Meeting went well

Author: mamask8z (10:55 pm)

We had fewer folks than we had for Thursday's meeting. I'd say almost 100 showed up, though some left early when a small thunderstorm threatened to let loose on us.

I learned a few things, and I look forward to talking to more of my neighbors, and researching a bit more on some of the environmental issues, nuisances, and hazards.

Hopefully next time we'll be able to meet at the Senior center. We'll have to try to find a facility we can rent out. At least if we do it indoors, we can bring a projector and show some slides.

One thing I heard from several different sources, is that Lewisville could actually sit over a more productive zone of the Barnett Shale than some of the other areas, due to the structure of the shale and something to do with "sand". Anyhow, I hope that I can find more on the geology. At some point, we'll also have to pull production figures on the closest wells to see what we might be dealing with here.

Soon, I hope to post more of a wrap-up of the various things we've learned since this all started.

In the mean time, folks, please feel free to post your comments or questions, and I'll do my best to find some answers.

I'm not quite sure, but I would hope that we could schedule another one for maybe Saturday after next - that way both political conventions will be over, and we'll have some time to get a little better organized. One issue we face is the venue. The park is nice, and it's free, but an indoor location with seating would be better for the elderly and hearing impaired. The rooms at Memorial park rec center are $25 an hour with a deposit. The community room of the municipal annex can hold 200, and is a fine location with plenty of parking. Problem with either of those (or the Senior Center) are the expense, and our lack of organizational funds. In fact, at this moment, we don't really have a formal structure to start raising money in such a way that would be accountable. I guess before we could do that, we would have to elect officers... but I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. Perhaps we could just get someone to go ahead and front the money for the community room, Saturday after next, and we could all pass the hat while we're there, to reimburse that person.
