I added a few more topic ideas to the list that I started (at the very
bottom), but from where I'm standing, I'm certainly very underwhelmed
by the response to help Terry with ideas for Muglo meetings - both for
my post and also Terry's plea for suggestions back in November. Wayne
was the only one to reply. One might excuse the lack of responses
because 'T'is the season', but then again there's time for traffic
about: mottos, toast and questions about flat screen TVs.
I realize that organizations that I do printing for, have found that
getting their members out to meetings has been more and more difficult
and that the trade shows that I go to, have reported a marked drop in
attendance. Is our group getting what they want through emails and
internet and sequestering themselves from social contact? Remember
when Terry invited us to his BBQ, the answers were so slow to come in...
Putting together meetings is time consuming. It involves having help
with meeting topics, getting a topic presenter, arranging for room
with projector (not always automatic), connectivity, posters/
advertising, buying draw prizes and on and on.
I'm wondering if we should release the Library room back to Alastair.
I'm sure he could make better use of the room that he so graciously
allowed us.
On the other hand, is anyone interested in continuing with the
meetings? If so, any interest in the suggested topics? Any other topics?
