The first tool for finding "groups" of members is now in place!!

Seems there is overwhelming support for this project, in theory!! NOW, take a few moments and enter YOUR zip code. Jeff has put the mechanism in place.

Go to "User CP" in the blue bar above, top box is "edit your details", click there. Scroll to the bottom of that page and enter your zip code in the new box, provided for that purpose.

For those who are interested in why we think this MIGHT work, here is the graph from my zip code "poll":

Yes, I would love to meet other penturners.

So, we hope most of you will, "Put your zip code where your vote was!".
2015 views and 240 votes???? Does that mean we will get good participation in this zip code project??? Only way to find out was to try it!!



The more members who take advantage of this new feature, the better our chances will be of "breathing new life" into some struggling chapters and "founding" new chapters (I am, personally interested in getting something started in Chicagoland--I hope all of you that start with 60*** will participate!!)

Thanks for your input on our survey and thanks for your cooperation on the new "zip project"!!!

THANK YOU Guys!! Maybe if enough tell us they have entered the info, it will encourage others to do the same!!!

I sure appreciate the HELP!!!

Preliminary information from the Committee members is that the "Chapter program" is struggling, although a handful are VERY successful. This reinforces my original belief that the chapters CAN succeed, but some guidance could improve the chances of success.

MY personal thanks to Jeff for his involvement with the steering committee and instituting this addition to our "tools for success"!!

Now we need all of YOU to help us make it work!!
 
Ed now that I've entered my zip code, how do I see who is in proximity to me?

Well, you're in Faith, SD. Population 424. There can't be that many who are close to you...maybe they are hiding in that Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ...

We'll be adding that feature. Right now we're just collecting data that Ed and his team will use to analyze the distribution of members and how that relates to local chapters.

I'll be working on a map and some other features as time permits.

Just a stab in the dark, but did you try to put in the NINE digit, with the dash?

I know the forum security does NOT LIKE "special characters"--the dash may be one such villain!!

Nope, only the first 5. I'll have to look up the rest.

edit in: Looked up the last 4, tried entering with and without the "-" and leaving a space betwee the first 5 and last 4 and stringing them all together and still get the error message.

For at test, I tried to edit my email and password and got the same error message.
