So, Publius, I'm a little lost here. Where does that leave the chapter, and how does one find out what, if anything, is being done, planned, hoped for,etc.? I can't read all the posts on these threads, to little real info in most, but a lot of spirit and gusto. It just takes to long to plough through it all.

"Libertina" is in charge, "big ern" is handling communications, and "Billthedrill" is setting up a FReeper Meet for March. I don't know if you've enrolled in the chapter, but contact "big ern" by FReepmail if you haven't.

IMO the most detrimental aspect to our chapter is not being successful in getting a place to gather. No one is volunteering a home to meet in. (Houses too small, too far away, don't want to etc.)

Restaurants, unless just meeting at fast food locations, charge to reserve rooms - proving expensive (to Publius and Billthedrill.)And who knows if people will show up. Fast food places aren't good for people with kids. Unless members are willing to come up with a location, the lack of getting together and renewing friendships results in the chapter falling apart.

I think it is fine for the chapter to have different interests. Some don't like to FReep, some do. But when together it seems everyone enjoys the excellent company. But unless contact is made every once in a while - the group feeling fades and has no chance to grow. This has been the most frustrating for me, - that I don't have a place to offer. Because if I did, I'd offer it in a heartbeat. I hope we're able to get something together soon.
