Meetup Conversation

Tracy Reith

I can't come this time as I will be out of town. I will plan to make the next meet up.

Jennie Mason

Hey everyone! Just want to remind you to RSVP because Seven Virtues is not that big of a coffee shop and we want to know how many of us to make room for. Also, you may want to show up a few minutes early so you don't miss any of the meeting standing in line waiting for your beverage or snack. See you there!

Jason Giglio

Having family emergency. Hope to make next time.

Johanna Wood

Hey Jason, I hope all is well with your family!

The next meetup is April 14, 10am. See you there... : )

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
