A little about myself, my personal passions, and causes
How did I come up with concept of the Community Thinking Tank and was it A VISION? The answer is YES!
With Hurricane Helene and other devastations around the world, this free and easy concept, is a SMART idea to get your community going for a backup system so people can communicate, and help one another in need

What is the Community Thinking Tank PART 2 OF 2
How simple is it to create your Community Thinking Tank, is it FREE, can kids and young adults create a group, and where can you find us on social media?
How to get going
ANYONE in the WORLD can make handmade signs without creating a local “Community Thinking Tank” in your city and state :) The main goal is all about spreading hope, faith and positivity in these times of division amongst people.
We simply ask that people support this vision, take video’s and pics of you and your works of art posted in your local communities, and tag us at #communitythinkingtank. That’s it! When you post, YOU are creating the positive movement for others to do, and it becomes contagious in making others feel better, and wanting to spread the good word as well.
PEOPLE WANTING TO “CREATE” THEIR OWN FREE COMMUNITY THINKING TANK
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS TO GET YOUR GOING
(PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK IF THE NAME IS TAKEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO THERE IS LESS CONFUSION FOR PEOPLE )
EX. COMMUNITY THINKING TANK - TAMPA, FLORIDA (SO ALL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS STREAMLINE FOR PEOPLE TO FIND)
BROCHURES TO DOWNLOAD FOR YOUR FREE COMMUNITY THINKING TANK
Reach out to a local print shop to sponsor this vision (print fun signs, t-shirts, hats, and vehicle stickers) for members and families to purchase, wear and promote
Encourage print shop that sponsorship will bring more local member business & projects to grow their business, longterm
List people and families in need of help in your community, and how you can help them - food programs, veteran programs, elder care, babysitting, trash clean up, etc.
Research all of your state businesses - farmers, local food vendors, household items and services to run your households, so you no longer need to support CHINA Big Box stores & force them to close their doors so local can flourish
Create an online directory for members to access said product and services
Business minded people within group - create an old school mail catalog as a directory of said products and services
Create CO-OP programs
Create new sales jobs: such as programs to compensate people referring local business - this could add up quickly for monthly reoccurring orders for all businesses
Encourage members to farm their land for more local products so there is enough to go around
Create more internship programs
Create at-home animal foster and rescue programs
Create TEEN Community Thinking Tank groups in your community
Create a home school directory
Create barter trades - break down by dollar value
Create emergency back up plans and a directory list of members addresses, emails and phone numbers ( in case of social media ban etc)
Incorporate local Holistic doctors on non poisonous remedies and healing modalities (EE therapy, Tesla Med Beds, etc)
Create full time farmers markets at a local farm or warehouse that will allow vendors to set up at a reasonable price or for free
Interview local businesses and members in your group to educate your community and promote any special pricing for members
Introduce this concept to 55 and older communities as many are looking to volunteer and join your movement
We encourage all members to join the main group here so we all learn from each other's ideas that are working. Also, to GLOBALLY spread “THE SIGN” messages and bring the power back to the people AS ONE VOICE! WOW, IMAGINE THAT POWER WITHOUT PAID ADVERTISING AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Remember, all it takes is two hero’s to spread the message to get the ball rolling and grow QUICKLY. Those are the people to look up to
LEGAL DISCLOSURE: The Community Thinking Tank is not legally responsible for your local groups as individuals create their own separate group(s). We simply are giving you “ideas” to get going. Run it as a “social group”, and/or incorporate as a Charitable Foundation and/or a PMA (Private Agreement Association).The member that creates each group, and their members, know their area better than anyone, and that is why “the” people decide. It is advised, that each group has several admins so that it is a collective.
