My source? Nothing in particular - that was always my understanding. If you would like me to do some research on the issue, I would be happy to do so for a small, upfront retainer. :)
There appears to be some confusion over the role community organizations have in whether or not Hack is permitted to film in the area. There seems to be the suggestion that the Hack production company some how "bought" the right to film in UC from SHCA for the often repeated "$500 and a tree." Further, based on my interpretation of the listserv traffic on this issue, it seems that people are taking their frustrations with the Hack shooting in the neighborhood out on SHCA. I stand ready to be corrected, but I do not believe that SHCA is that powerful or influential -- the right to film originates from the City. I would assume that that the production company attempts to reach out to community organizations as a show of good faith, and a desire to be inclusive, not to obtain "permission." I agree it would be helpful to hear from a representative from SHCA with regard to: (1) the organization's alleged contact with the Hack production company; (2) whether a donation was made to the organization by the production company and if so, under what circumstances; and (3) when and where the tree is being planted.

Second, I am not the person who unilaterally gave permission and took a pledge of $500.00, therefore it is not my responsibility to explain myself or organization to the area. I did not vote for or employ them to act as my counsel or representative. Therefore, they need to get the word out effectively. Walter You wrote: Having been involved in community organizations myself, I think your demand that SHCA place a flyer in every mailbox (which I believe is illegal) every time it decides to hold a meeting is unrealistic. SHCA is a community organization consisting of a board of, I believe, non-paid volunteers. There are limits to what an all volunteer group can accomplish. Perhaps, since this issue is important to you, you can volunteer to distribute the meeting notices so those who work late and ignore postings can stay informed. Jonathan A.
