Re: About Those Fibroid MeetUps

[Guest guest]

I live in Pennsylvania and would love to meet up with others in my area that

have this disease. It would good to talk to other who know what I am going

through. And understand that this pain really does exist and all this stuff that

I talk about is for real.

I've been thinking about the MeetUp as well and I've just now been in

touch with the Seattle Planned Parenthood and the University of

Washington Women's Center about it. The Women's Center is willing to

post a sign about the even to their bulletin board.

I challenge you other ladies to do the same -- and make suggestions

for other places you think we can post signs I'm thinking of a

community health clinic, a couple coffee shops and a small grocery in

my neighborhood.

I would be happy to help set up a flyer in MS Word that listmembers

can update with their city names.

Carla, is NUFF considered a sponsor of the events? Can I include info

about NUFF on the flyer?

NUFF isn't technically a " sponsor " of these events. There is

currently no way to oversee or be accountable for what is shared

across so many informal meetups all over the world. There are fairly

detailed terms to signing up for the meetup system that explains the

legal liabilities involved and the restrictions over any single

organization truly taking " ownership " of the meetups. We would have

to pay fees and work much more closely with the MEETUP folks to

tighten things up to the degree of being able to state we are truly

the " sponsors " for these meetings.

That said, there is no reason whatsoever that you couldn't place " For

more fibroid information, see:

and list several resources here on the brochure

Also, you can generally place meeting announcements for free in local

freebie independent newspapers. These typically need to go into the

paper by Thursday or Friday of the week BEFORE it's to actually appear

in print. So, making that placement in time for this month's meetings

on the 21st would probably have to occur by tomorrow.

We have created a 2x3 MEETUP ad that is simply the nametag with the

website on it which can also be used for paid ads. Let me know if you

want this graphic file -- the graphic files offered on the MEETUP site

are not high quality and actually print a bit blurry.

It will take time to build on these meetings to gather enough interest

from locals to have them in as many cities as we'd like to see. But,

please do encourage registration and take heart/hope that it will

happen, in time.

Anyone who identifies herself as a " host " of any given meeting is

welcome to contact me for brochures or other printed materials for

distribution/discussion at their meeting.

Ann:

These are fantastic ideas. I like them a lot. I would definitely

like to get posters/flyers out in my area. I can think of LOTS of

places I could possibly place them. Hope you'll let me know when

you have a flyer/poster ready.

It seems like it will be difficult to list dates/locations on

flyers/posters since we won't know if a date is a go, or what the

meetups location is, until a few days before each meeting. So, I

hope that you'll include the info on how to sign up at the meetups

website.

Also, thanks so much for getting the photos of us in S.F. up on this

list-group's site. – We didn't get YOU in any of those photos –

when there's a Seattle meetup, you'll have to be sure to include

yourself in the photos !

And, if you include a list of suggested resources – per Carla's

message – why not include information about joining this list-

group??

Best,

Pat

I signed up for a meetup here in Seattle. Will I be notified where exactly

this meetup will be?

Thanks

If at least 5 people sign up in your area for a Meetup, you will

receive an email telling you the location of the meeting per the votes

received.

If less than 5 people sign up, you will receive an email indicating it

has been cancelled and suggesting you look for other meetings to join

in on in your near state/area.

This process repeats itself each month so even if not enough people

sign up this month to hold a meeting in your area, there is continued

opportunity for the numbers of members to increase with time and

future meetings to be scheduled/held.
