How to Organize a Meetup in Your City
There are lots of meetups around the country and around the world. We love hearing about them.
Since others have subsequently asked about meetups in their area, the moderators and I have decided to create this forum discussion so the community can throw out ideas and dates for meetups in other cities around the world.

New York City!!!! I would love to attend and meet others that are AVM survivors as well. I am happy this forum was created so it is easy to follow if there will be meetings in the Northeast area. I am not that good at organizing but definately would attend.

I would like to give tips on setting up a meeting.
First off have a place that you are going to meet and then a date set in stone.
Ask our family and friends if they are willing to help host.
Post on the AVM of the time and place.
Do a search for your state in the members area and add every one in your area or state.
Ask other what they would like to pitch in so that it is a place where every one welcome to and can take part and share of them selfs to others.
We had a great time here in Houston Texas and once more thanks to every one that helped make it happen!
