John, if you remember, there was myself and another student, Jason (blonde guy),

Yes--Jason has contacted me separately. I have his email and have been inviting him to the meetings. He was busy over the summer, but does seem very interested. I'll send him an additional reminder for this Sunday's meeting. I'll also give Harv a call about it, as well.

As I was in the Career Center, looking to satisfy my internship requirements from volunteer activities for REDI, the only thing my counselor said was if the meetings are NOT held at private residences, but a coffeeshop or board room, then UCD is an open market for REDI. Hmmm, maybe for the get involved link on the REDI site there could be a small graphic that says, "UCD students: satisfy your internship requirements with REDI" I know half of my colleagues complain how incomplete and uninteresting their internships are.

Great Idea! I'll add the link. One thing I'm not clear about--are you saying that this doesn't count for your internship if the meetings are held at private residences? In any case, I think it might be wise for us to start meeting in public places where people who might be interested in working with us hang out--especially places where UCD students hang out. We used to have our meetings at Common Grounds at 32nd and Lowell, and several times people overheard what we were talking about and came up and asked how they could be involved. We stopped meeting there because they had live music on the nights we were meeting and it was difficult to talk. Lets have our next meeting at a coffeeshop on or near UCD--at a time when there is no live music.

Okay I'm on NED, works much better than SKYPE. Sorry about the poor spelling; I'm a product of spell check.
