A view from the ground in Newtown

Been reading lots about Newtown CT.  We have to build something-  that's how we cope with loss.  At a national level, we are talking about building new rules about guns, improved access to mental health services and the like.  But we really need to build something local, in Newtown, something that builds community.

Came across this really interesting post on Facebook.  It's long, and could use editing, but it speaks from the heart.  Check it out here.  He is putting together a plan for Community Garden, as a means of building community.  To quote:

For those who want to know more about this project or feel compelled to give to this specific action, it can be done here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/299050/x/1590232 More info is being added to the campagin as it is formalized.

Other ideas?
