Open for Business
We are still open for business.
The site remains up and the blog/forum is waiting for your entry.
Roy, Irene, and myself will not be posting anything for a while to give members a chance to get accustomed to fully participating in the blog, if they so desire.
Do not try to use this blog/forum to pick a fight, criticize our organization, or attack any of our officers or members. Anyone who has a bone to pick with me, or with GCCC, can simply give me a call at 640-8077 or e-mail me. Please, be a big boy or girl and use your real name. But do not use this blog/forum for that purpose. I think we've all seen and heard enough from the anonymous cowards who like to lurk in cyberspace.
I would prefer that, at this point, people posting use their real names. If you are not comfortable using your real name, then you probably should not be posting that material. Be sure to read the disclaimer beneath the entry box.
If you have digital pictures you'd like to post, attach them in an e-mail to me at john@mthope-eastside.org, and I will try to get them posted after photo-shopping them. Patience, please, with the pics.
You may also submit your entries through e-mail or through the entry box. I do suggest you use MS Word or some other word-processor to type your entry, using the Verdana font, spell-check it, then copy and paste it into the entry box or e-mail. That has proven to be the most efficient way to post for me. I find that I often make horrenedous spelling errors and typos whenever I type directly into an entry box, and of course, they have no spell-check. I remain a terrible speller.
If you are unsure of your writing (or simply in a rush) and wish me to edit and spell-check your entry for you, advise me of that, and I will do that for you, though it will take a bit longer to appear on the blog.
Anyone who has any unique excuses for not participating in the blog let me know what they are, and I will try to address those as well.
As long as we have a forum, let's all use the opportunity. Use it or lose it.

Welcome to the "Hood" Kourtney O. We meet next this Wednsday evening, the 18th. If you're in Pro-town, RI, please join us. See Upcomming Events on site.
We need more Kelts around here. Did you know that Mt. Hope was once a neighborhood of affluent 2nd and 3rd generation Irish and Russian imigrants. Of course it was the Irish who built all these great houses you see. : )
At least that's what Jim Mulcahy told me, and he's been around forever or at least a long time.

Thank You for keeping the weblog!!! My husband and I bought the house at 121 Camp St. a few months ago, but we live in Boston, so I have really enjoyed keeping up on community happenings by reading through every few days! (by the way John, and Irene, we do still plan on joining GCCC, just keep forgetting the checkbook when we come down to do work.)
