[New-imc] COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE (U.S.), initial contact

[Jay]

Hi there Martha,

My name is Jay and I'm part of the Philadelphia IMC.  I'm also involved 
with the new-imc working group, the global Indymedia working group that 
helps aspiring IMC projects like your own become an "official" part of the 
Indymedia network.  Glad to meet you!

I see in the below forwarded message that you've applied for an imc mailing 
list from the listwork group.  That's a great first step.  From this point 
forward the goal is to organize, organize, organize!  When you think your 
group may be solid enough to entertain the possibility of joining the 
global indymedia network, check out the new-imc documents at 
"http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImcHowTo".  In fact, you may want 
to take a look at them now so you get an overview of where you're headed.

Let the new-imc working group know if you have any questions as you wind 
your way through forming your IMC and we'll see if we can help.

Good luck!

Jay
