I think it is very imprtant in any endeavor such as this that we define a clear and concise mission statement.
Without a goal, we have nothing. There must be something that we are willing to work hard, and dedicate our time for.
A simple statement can suffice in the beginning. We can add to this and make it our own. It cannot be too lengthy, a paragragh or less that lays out what we all want to accomplish in this group.
Example:
Care2 Community Circle is a safe place where you can come to meet your new family here at care2. This is a group that you can pass on information to get the message spread throughout the community. You can get questions answered and provide information to make others experience at care2 a better one.
That was just off the top of my head, and it is not really a good one. It has to be our whole purpose here wrapped up in a small paragraph.
Once the mission statement is decided upon then we can go about building the foundation we need to support this.
"to meet your new family here at care2." I can't help thinking of Archie Bunker and All in the Family...
I thought this new group is supposed to be somekind of a... refuse tip to all the subjects that are spamming the C2F&S. So I am not so comfortable with very high goals.
Your statement sounds very nice, but I think it's a bit too nice for the purpose...

A welcome mat for everyone. The goal could be to further interaction between all the people in the Care2 community.

But to work out the "Neutral" details is difficult. I`ve found that many shy from any hint of bias...including who is member of group or friend of..etc.. Maybe all can help to create the Structure of a "Review Panel" ..for lack of better term.
