I understand the frustration from some of you who want to have regular meetings but cannot get the participation of others. I also understand that many people have things going on that get in the way of attending on a regular basis. Family, sports, and sometimes work take priority over attending a meeting of a club that people know very little (or nothing) about. We will soon be getting into the holiday season and it will probably get even worse.

My recommendation would be for someone (maybe the most frustrated one or two) to just make the decision to start your club. Decide on a meeting day once a month and find a LFS to host or host it yourself. Announce the meeting and invite others to attend. If they come, fine; it they don't come, fine. You will have your club even if it's only two or three people to start with. When the other people realize what is going on, they will come too. Some people will come one time and you'll never see them again. Others will come and like what they see and you'll have a steady member. Everybody won't be able to come to every meeting, but you will still have your club. It will grow as more people recognize the benefits of talking with each other, asking questions of more experienced reefers, and swapping frags.

If you're waiting to find a date and time that suits everybody it will be a long time before you have a club.

In summary: Somebody step up to the plate and announce that we will have a meeting of the E.A.R.S. on October ?? at ?:??PM at location ???. All reefers are invited to attend!

exactly what i was saying

Hey All,

Thanks for the kind comments Carie

I personally think a once a month meeting is far to often. This would be to difficult for people to attend. Quarterly is best, that gives everyone time to plan, etc...

I duno, its a group decision not only one persons...

I have been VERY busy lately with college and everything going on, if it was once a month I know I would not be able to attend them very often.

Something to concider...

I think our next meeting shoud not be untill Jan. because of thxgiving and then Xmas right after...
it was be to stressfull on people schedules to plan for that.

Kathy will always have the store open for meetings. I think its safe to set Valley Tropical Fish up for the Host of our society.

Anyway, Im out, French Homework, Legal & Social Environment Homework, American Literature homework, Gah, who knows what else!!!
