Letter from the Editor
September 2009
Thank you for your interest in Spirit of
the Times, the monthly newsletter of the US: Georgia
Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement. This is the premiere issue.I
have decided to number Spirit of the Times by Volume
and Issue. 12 Issues make up a complete Volume. So this is
Volume 1 Issue 1. October will be Volume 1 Issue 2 and so
on until Volume 1 Issue 12. Then we move to Volume 2 Issue
1 and so forth. One Volume covers a year's time. All of the
issues will be archived on the web at Spirit
of the Times. The web interface also contains links to
subscribe, unsubscribe and contact the editor.
Also, please note, the Georgia Chapter website
has a "Forum" section. Everyone is welcome to join
the forum and participate in the discussions that are starting
there. I would like to see the forum being used as a place
where we all dialog with each other about various things related
to the chapter such as projects and events. It is also a good
place to introduce yourself. We also have subsections in the
forum for 'city-level' groups. By this, we mean support for
the Zeitgeist Movement organized at the local city or town
level. So, for instance, we might have an active Atlanta section,
Athens section, Columbus section and Savannah section of the
Georgia Chapter. If you are interested in facilitating this
in your local area, CONTACT
US.
To join the chapter forum, please follow these
instructions:
1) REGISTER
on the chapter website. This registration is separate from
your subscription to Spirit of the Times. It is also
separate from registration on the Zeitgeist Movement global
website. When you send the registration request, you will
receive an activation email. You will need to follow the instructions
in that email to confirm your registration. You will only
have to register once.
2) Once you are registered,
then you can LOGIN
to the Georgia Chapter website. When you login, you can then
gain access to the forum by clicking on "Communicate"
(on the top navigation menu of the chapter site) and choosing
"Forum" from the drop down list.
I would like to mention that we have over 100
subscribers to Spirit of the Times. I want to thank
each of you individually for your interest and support. We
are a very open and diverse group of folks. We organize from
a grassroots level. We have no strict hierarchies or authoritarian
rules. If you are interested in getting more involved you
have many options. You can join the forum, contribute material
to this newsletter, come to our monthly meetings, etc. Feel
free to CONTACT
THE GA CHAPTER if you want to participate.
