From an announcement (obviously yesterday's but only found in my Inbox today). I am going, is anyone else? Anyone have any suggestions for the questions they posed here (which is part of what I bolded)? My mind goes blank when asked such things. :p
Hi Open Love NY’ers,
Just a reminder that our special membership meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, April 26 at 7:30 pm, at the Manhattan Theater Club, 311 W. 43rd Street, 8th Floor. Admission is $8 for everyone, which includes a 2011 membership bracelet.
If you have never been to a meeting before, or if you are a long-standing member of this community who wants to take the next step and become involved as a mover and shaker, this is the meeting for you! Open Love NY started in March 2009 when eight friends came together at the Poly Living East conference and came up with an idea for a member-driven, community-serving poly organization.
Since March 2010, we have planned monthly events featuring nationally prominent speakers such as authors Barbara Carrellas, Eric Francis and Christopher Ryan, Loving More magazine editor Robyn Trask and Cuddle Party co-founder Marcia Baczynski. We’ve also organized other parties, gatherings and events, in addition to co-sponsoring Poly Cocktails each month at Affaire.
Now, it’s time for you to help us take the next step in our growth as an organization. Our intent is to be a member-driven group, so we want to hear from our members! For new people, this is your chance to get on the ground floor and have a say in what kind of events you’d like us to organize.
We’ll start the evening with an extended opening circle, so each person has the chance to introduce themselves, say a little about your interest in polyamory, and what ideas they want to throw on the table for discussion. We’ll want to cover these basic items in no particular order:
Event planning – how can we organize events better? What kind of events do people want to attend as a community?
Meetings – how can we make our regular meetings more fun and exciting?
Leadership – for those of you interested in getting involved with the behind-the-scenes machinery, here’s your chance!
Promotion – how do we spread the word about polyamory and let more people know about our community?
Resources – what other resources are out there for polyamorous people? Share your expertise and experience with the group.
Vision – what do we see for the future of polyamory and Open Love NY for the next few years?
For this membership meeting, we want to welcome everyone as a member, so admission will be $8 for everyone, including a 2011 membership bracelet if you don’t already have it. We hope to see you there!
