| Notes: | If you have friend who might be interested in becoming a member of the group, try to bring them along as a guest. This is a generally a smaller and more informal gathering then a regular monthly meeting. It could be the best way to get somebody interested enough in the group to want to take additional steps towards becoming a local member. |
