Welcome
Choosing & Scheduling Events
ANYONE can suggest an event. If you want to go hang-gliding or go sing karaoke--that's fine. Post a message and if there's interest we'll add it to the event list. I'm always looking for new ideas and suggestions - so bring them on guys.
Sometimes your schedule just won't allow you to attend some of our fun events, so please if you just feel like getting out of the house, send out an email to the group, and see if anyone would like to join you for some last minute event. You can also use the message boards for this purpose.
Basic Membership Rules
Hopefully we won't need to worry about kicking anyone out of the group... However, you are highly encouraged to attend an event within 45 days of joining the group. If you have not attended an event and no one in the group has ever met you . You may be deleted from the group. This is for the safety and security of our members.
Profile Picture
This is also very important because it allows the group members to recognize each other when we meet at the different locations and it is another way of becoming acquainted. This is a private group, therefore, your picture will only be viewed by other members of this group. If you do not have a recent photo, let me know and I will take 1 at the next event and help you get it posted. I do ask that you post a photo of you and not of a pet or other object.
Attending Events
We realize that everyone can't participate in every event, but if you haven't logged on for over a month you'll be considered an "INACTIVE MEMBER" and you may be removed from the group. Also, If you constantly say "No" to events. You may be deleted. The purpose of this group is to do things in the community and get out and meet other members.
Inactivity.
This group is about getting out and doing things and forming new friendships. So please take the time to review our upcoming events, message boards and polls. It only take a minute to RSVP. So please take the time to RSVP to the Meetups to show signs of life and interest in the group.
Message Board
This is a great communication tool. Please stop by and check it out when you sign in to your account. It is the best way to communicate with out filling up everyone's email account. Post a message, say hello; ask advice - whatever you want. Don't worry -- only members of this group will be able to read the message board.Solicitation
This is a social meetup, not a business networking meetup. Please do not use the meetup events to promote your home based business.
In addition, please note that this is NOT a dating / singles meetup. Boys, please keep in mind that the women are here for socializing and making new friends, not for you to hit up with lewd messages or meetup shouts UNLESS you have prior arrangements with them to this effect.
The Importance of RSVP's
It's REALLY appreciated when people RSVP "Yes" or "No" for events. You won't see a lot of "maybe" options as you're either going to be there or not. So if you are the type who wants to wait and see if something better is going to come along, just go ahead and RSVP "No". It's perfectly OK to say "no" and then change your RSVP to "yes" at a later date if you find that you can attend. THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO RSVP.
I use this information to prepare the event and to gauge interest. If you sign-up as a "Yes", PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH AND SHOW UP!!!! We don't want to stand around waiting for someone that's not going to show. If you continually "no show" we may/will delete you from the group.
Sometimes last minute emergencies do happen...and I understand this fully, but please don't leave the group wondering where you are. I ask that you please call me (on my cell) -- if at the last minute you will not be able to attend an event. I promise I won't yell at you! That way we won't be waiting for you to show up. Repeated no-shows (without a call) will result in loss of membership.
Now that those details are out of the way, LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
So feel free to suggest an event...or post a message on the message board..or reply to a message. This is our group. Lets make it the best group around.
Truly
Michele
