Ed, count me in for the Palatine location

Ron, there are several of us around the Indy area. If someone want to run with this feel free if not Linda and I may be able to do something a little down the road.

Sounds good.
As for the Indy area I would be interested. If there are more interested in this I could probably run it. PM me if you are. Thanks

If you want to serach for members in your area who might be interested in starting a local chapter, please start a new thread using the locale as the topic. Thanks!

Anyone in the Los Angeles/Orange county area up for this?

DocStram · 09-16-2008, 08:04 AM

Lou .... two quick suggestions to consider.

First, can we get this forum in a more visible location on the site? It's too tucked away.

Second, we need to find a way to let new members, i.e. people who post in "Introductions", to let them know about the chapters that might be near them.

Third, I know I said two but here's another one, if there was a way of getting people to plot their locations on the member map .... we could have an easier time of identifying chapter members. I wonder if we can make some sort of auto-response that pops up when new members sign in?

Just some random thoughts!

Great suggestions, Doc. I will start a more visible thread and have Jeff make it sticky! (I'd do it, but I hate having jam on my fingers when I turn.

) I'll also see about getting Jeff to modify the welcome message (from when a new member gets a login and password) to include mention of local chapters.

Leave it to a professor to have "two things" turn into three!

But on a serious note, we have a member map? Dang, I learn something new every day!

Any body up for a Nashville chapter, there are a few turners near Memphis, a couple near Nashville and a slew of them in East Tennessee, Nashville or somewhere around the center of the state would be nice.

If I had someone to design some cool graphic buttons, I'd put some links right up in the header next to the logo for Local Chapters and some other stuff.

Doc there's a link on the front page. We need something even more visible?

I've msg'd Phil (LEAP) ...
I do think we can get a NE chapter going.

I'll search the forums for New Englanders to whom to reach out.
