Answer for Edie on Meetups --

[Guest guest]

Edie (and group, of course):

If you go to the “members” page on the uterine fibroids meetups:

http://uterinefibroids.meetup.com/members/ - I think you’ll get a better

idea what I’m talking about.

(Ladies you may need to BE a member in order to see this page – you can join

at: http://uterinefibroids.meetup.com/ )

The members page lists all the geographic regions where people have signed

up and shows how many are signed up in each region. It shows “New York

City” with 9 members signed up. Poughkeepsie and Westchester each have 2,

and many other NY and NJ sites have 1 each.

We have the same situation here in the San Francisco Bay Area where 5 people

are signed up in San Francisco proper – but 4 more in Alameda County right

across the Bay, and at least 3 other Bay Area regions have members signed

up.

I think that while we’re getting this thing off the ground, we’ll have to

get the meetups going in one of the official regions in a larger

geographical area. Then ladies from adjoining regions can join that meetup.

These regions are too small for most of us – at least for now & in urban

areas the boundaries are almost meaningless – the regions tend to all merge

into one another. In January when you and I attended successful gatherings

– we each drew ladies from a wide-geographical area.

Anyway, there were 8 people signed up in one region prior to last weekend –

that one region being “New York City”. So, it’s possible that there

actually could have been a meetup there on Feb 21 (takes 5 confirmed

attendees to have the meeting be a “go.”) That’s what I was inquiring

about.

Meanwhile, I’m hoping that enough ladies will sign up, vote on a location

(or at least specify " no preference " ) -- and confirm their attendance in at

least one of the S.F. Bay regions for the March 20 meeting – and then ladies

from other Bay Area regions will be able to join that region’s meetup.

Likewise, other parts of the country/world.

(I can't help but note that, for instance, there are 6 people in ATHENS

Greece signed up for " anarchy " meetups -- on an ENGLISH language website ---

certainly we can do better than that for uterine fibroids in an English

speaking country!)

Best,

Pat
