CivicSource

CivicSource has developed a monthly calendar of civic events in Massachusetts, http://www.civicsource.net/civicsource/month.php. It's an interesting tool and a project of the Commonwealth Civic Roundtable which consists of

Boston Cares
Boston Foundation
Building Impact
Discovering Justice
IssueSource
Leadership Metrowest
Massachusetts Campus Compact
Massachusetts Service Alliance
MassINC
MassVOTE
New Democracy Coalition
ONEin3 Boston Initiative
Social Capital Inc.
United Leaders
United Way Massachusetts Bay
University of Massachusetts Civic Initiative

I wonder if any Republicans, Libertarians, or Greens are involved.
