Name change & a new project

I’m discovering in just the last week that it appears that little is really inviolate in the work so far.
Significantly, while “Marion’s Ledge” is fixed in my mind and soul, I’ve long wished for something better than “Community House” but haven’t thought of even a contender. Recently I heard “commons” used outside a university context and it occurred to me that it might hold just the right meaning.

commons |ˈkämənz| |ˌkɑmənz| |ˌkɒmənz|
plural noun
1 a dining hall in a residential school or college.
2 [treated as sing. ] land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community.
• a public park of a town or city.
3 That’s Us baby!! We’re here for and affecting the whole of the community!


We’ve been sorta trying it on for size for a bit and I think we’re warming up to it so I’m going to go ahead and update the name on the website later today and see if it doesn’t stick.

Hailey has found a good way for us to go ahead and try to pursue some of our mission without waiting on the funds for a building and the whole package. She’s found someone with Rice TV interested in producing a series of films on Houston Groups that we can help with. It sounded like their motivations are very much like ours so this ought to be good and I hope we get moving on it pretty soon. I’m sure she’ll soon elaborate more on the project.
