You have arrived at that magick moment when this Group is growing. We'll make it. I have faith in this idea. If you would like to help, so much the better.
Picture the following:
- The city -- where groups abound for pagans so they can meet and share activities together. http://www.Meetup.com does a great job of assisting in the city networking. For a pagan who moves to the city, it is fairly easy to find a networking group.
- The country -- where pagans cannot find groups and largely cannot find the other local pagans. Meetup.com does not work well for the rural pagans because too few of them are signed up and the Meetup.com format splits those who do into smaller topic-oriented groupings where there are never enough local rural pagans in any one group to ever have a meetup. For a pagan who moves to the country, it is pretty impossible to find a local networking group. For many of the rural pagans, it is too far to travel to participate in the city activities.
That pretty well states the problem. Taking all of the above into consideration, follow me and picture the following solution:
Nahalem, Oregon, is a small town on the Oregon coast, about 35 miles south of Astoria. On your Rand/McNalley Oregon map, put your drawing compass point on Nehalem and scribe a circle with a 35-mile radius. There are 36 communities within this half circle, most of them very small and very rural. You set up a group for Nehalem which lists all of its communities. You issue invites, using the AOL member directory (advanced), and you use the Oregon Witchvox member directory, and you use the SCA directory for that "kingdom." By doing this, you will create a local networking group for the rural pagans in the close-by Nehalem area. And you are aiming for the day when a basic core membership is established and when one of those local members will take over that group as Manager.
