    Ok ...since even the crickets seem to have left the forums...i figure id start a thread.

    Last weeks meeting we discussed about doing some events for charity. I cant remember all of them..bultarswan has a list, but i know that somethings brought up were a bowling nite for charity, heart walks maybe and so on.

    Now im all for these we should do some..get some publicity and so on...but if we plan them...we need attendence. planning an event and then having two people show up would not be a good thing to say the least.

    Now we need to showing some support across the forum here.. i know alot of you have school and so on...but even a little support now and then is good. Otherwise...our little club will be no more :( and that would make me sad :(

    Last week we had 6 people show total....most of them repeats from the last meeting and thats a good thing...but lets try for a big meeting next time, theres a lot of ya i have never met and id like to! :)

    Now if anyone has any thoughts,ideas...or anything to add here ..please...post! the forum has been all but dead since the meeting :( lets liven these forums back up!

    Well thats my say....mind you im not upset or anything...i am just showing some concern for something i consider important.

    Hugs to all :)

    We do all need to make our way to the meetings. I hope that we eventually have meetings so big that we must move our meeting location.

    If not enough people are showing up then maybe the meeting time needs to be changed. That is the only reason I personally have not been attending. I'm not just saying this because it's my problem alone. I wouldn't be able to come during the week either, but I've observed that many people want to come to the meetings but they have other obligations Saturday night.

    I personally think Saturday or Sunday afternoons would be a good time for meetings. Not many things are scheduled at those times, usually they are kept to the evenings.

    I don't think anyone is not trying to make their way to the meetings. There are just certain priorities that take precedence over a fan club, no matter how important that club is to you, and those priorities just happen to be conflicting with our scheduled meetings.

    agree - and bultar swan indicates that sunday is not good for her - but earlier saturday perhaps? especially with college football season winding down (go blue!) -

    As someone who would be driving at least a couple hours to attend, I'd be able to make more meetings on Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, or Sunday afternoon.

    I'm already on the second version of my costume (actually third, but this will be my second attempt of sewing). I wish I didn't get the "if I change this and that it will be more accurate" bug. ;)

    I'd love to do some sort of costume making thing, depending on time and place (since I'd be driving from Detrot-area). :D

    I would definitely be interested in doing some sort of costuming get together as I need help! If you would like to start a thread, please feel free. :) It's a very good idea.
