If you are looking for an "organization", we are not it! We
have been in existence since March 1985, and have yet to elect
any
officers. Everything is done by volunteerism. The only
thing that
might pass for a structure is a Steering Committee that meets at
random
times consisting of whoever shows up, and chats about what topics
might
be of interest at future meetings. We have one person who
labels
himself the "Corresponding Secretary"; that is how the membership
mailing list is maintained and monthly meeting notices are mailed.
No membership dues or meeting fees. No membership screening
committee.
Just show up.
No charter, no incorporation, no newsletter, no minimum number of
meetings to attend. We will have anywhere from 35 to 65 people
at
each meeting, since they know they will not be "roped into" some
project or committee.
We meet the first Monday of each month (except Labor Day or other
Holidays that fall on the first Monday).
