3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that has not already been discussed during this discussion week, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

I actually feel the RISK procedure is a good thing to mention this week because I have met many people who do not realize the problems that can arise in starting a small group. One example I can give is my friend's Karate Club at SJSU, he was very positive of the club's opening but he did not come up with a way to bring more members in or how to create dedicated members. All the events were announced through facebook and no personal contacts were really made, he kind of just expected people to come now that he made the club. I find it important that someone like him refer to the RISK procedure only because I feel that when you want to start a group you should be aware of failure and attempt to find a way to prevent roadblocks in your progress. For those of you who do not know what the RISK procedure is, it is where you list and brainstorm ways to prevent yourself from lacking success and preventing roadblocks.
