Be active, helpful and don't be annoying. Don't say anything stupid. Join the MoRA and/or the SPSF. The Local Council is also a good place to start. But in particular, stop treating this region as if it's your last resort and a backup plan. Stop acting as if you can't wait to get out of here. Treat it as a home, a place you want to be a part of, a place you're glad to be in. It's a different region to TNP, some may say it's better, others not so, I certainly would, but come in with an open mind and give it a chance to be. TSP and TNP may be good allies and close friends, but being committed to there does not cut it as commitment to here.
