I was talking with the SHCA "Membership Chair" last night about the different 
community groups I have signed up for at some point in the five years that I have been 
here in Philly.

UCD, UCHS, SHCA, FOCP, WPD, UCAL, etc. A big problem has been remembering to sign-up 
again each year.

I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be great if some organization in the community 
offered a one-stop way to sign-up for community group memberships each year." Instead 
of every neighborhood group trying to get out information about themselves separately, 
they could work together.

Each year, one group could use a shared database to send out renewal notices, 
coordinate mailing lists and get information out about all the good that is going on 
in this neighborhood. Maybe even a consolidated membership form â one check to cover 
all the memberships. The group managing the database could parse out the membership 
money as it comes in.

There may be some overhead, but wouldn't it be great if some grant money could be 
found that covers "community empowerment" or "community organization?"
