RHS Class of 1977 Network Effect

I am writing today about the lofty notion of consciously tapping the potential in our class. The aim is to make a lasting set of changes in our world. By this I mean a non-partisan effort which seeks to inspire and motivate positive actions and good deeds in each of our local communities. The end result would be a daily series of small efforts whose goal is to improve and build up, rather than criticize and nitpick.

Sounds incredibly simple and naive, right? Well, it actually is when you pause to give it some reflection. Though doesn't this sound familiar and like the kind of talk which used to be commonplace when we were growing up?

So put on your rose colored glasses for just a moment and let me propose we focus on reaching out to each other, be it in person, over the phone, or via the multitude of avenues which the Internet offers each of us. Use our 40th Class Reunion this coming summer as the reason for your actions.

The 40th reunion gives us all the perfect opportunity to compare notes, formulate ideas, and see what we could be doing together in the future. More reunions, of course. Though maybe we will come up with a solution or two to the problems we are seeing in our communities and the world today. There are no boundaries being set on your idealism.
  
Whether you want to call attention to your efforts or decide to keep the spotlight off you, the heart of the matter is being aware and understanding the essence of this philosophic idea.  

The best way to create the RHS Class of 1977 Network Effect is by being someone who encourages people to connect to each other and to help each other.

Go for it. Dare to be good.
