- - We can lead innovators to projects, but can we make them contribute their time and creativity?
- - The short answer, no, we cannot
Reaching Out Beyond Nevada
- - We already know Reno is not interested, outreach to the rest of Nevada is still on the table
- - Generally speaking, there are civic volunteers is great numbers across the United States and beyond who are interested in contribution to civic projects
