I had my first meeting with the group on my first night; they wanted to know how my background and skills would fit in with their work. They were astounded that I had newsparer experience. For a year they had been putting out a two page paper. With my knolige of typesetting and layout, they thought we might be able to put out a four page issue; with the resources we were getting from the Center for Community Ecomomic Development, because I had enrolled in the Cambrige-Goddard Graduate Program in Social Change. CCED gave my collective a grant which we  could use as we saw fit. The most important thing was to expand the  paper. It was our "tool" to bring "paticapatory democory" to an old archiac city. Over time, the paper, which had begun as the "Newpaper" and the name never changed, grew to 16 pages.
