No, but I talked to Patty Hamilton, who is the most successful realtor in town, and she's been having similar ideas and we're going to talk more. She contacted the mayor (Ed Malloy) but he's out of town for a week. I just emailed a friend who's influential at MUM to see if there is any thought being given to inviting refugees into the pundit housing. The Amma group just had an hour and a half meeting to brainstorm on ways we can help. I'll announce our plans when they're more developed. ------------------------ Yahoo!
