We've done something similar in the very early stages at both locations (before or just after opening) and will do the same at a third opening in the fall.
We also do weekly member lunches and often these things come into the conversation, sometimes organically, sometimes spurred by me. They're not open to the public, but we have invited "outsiders" (media, city/county folks) and often invite potential members. We've found these lunches to be one of the best things about being a member. scott. On Jul 8, 6:12 pm, Alex Hillman <[email protected]> wrote: > Member meetings/town hall's are *awesome*.
