We're Meeting In Massachusetts

Here is a chance to meet your fellow political moderates in person. Announcing the FIRST EVER centrist meetup in the Boston area:

Thursday, January 27, 7:00 PM
Redline
59 JFK St (Harvard Square, near Eliot Street)
Cambridge, MA

This will be an opportunity to socialize, to discuss the issues, blogs, and debate who to support in the 2006 Massachusetts governors race. We will be meeting jointly with political independents. You can RSVP for the event by signing up at the meetup.com site for either centrists or independents. There is no charge to sign up.

If you are in the Boston area, but can't make this month's meeting, please sign up anyway and RSVP as No. That way, I will know how to contact you for future meetups. I don't know how many people will show up, but I will be there unless a Nor'easter drops more than one foot of snow. If you have any questions, email me at rick @ centristcoalition dot com

That's awesome, Rick. I tend to think there are several ways we may be able to use Meetup to organize our efforts, perhaps based in the already established Independents or Centrists groups, or the issue-specific groups (once we start working on specific issues).

If anyone else wants to organize this kind of meeting in your locality, let us know.

Ugh! So Jealous... Wishing I lived in Boston. Depending on the turnout, you guys need to organize a weekend meeting so us other east coasters can hop the train and come meet with you, also.

Bill,

I am on a few centrist related Meetups in DC and they are always canceled due to a lack of participants.

I may make it, Rick.

That would be terrific, Scott.

Please sign up at the meetup site in case I need to send out a last-minute snow cancellation to the list.

I did.

Sigh. The drawback of living in the middle...

Have fun, and don't forget to write.

Great idea ~ I will not be able to join but have linked to your announcement.

Sounds great. A meeting of moderates in Boston. I hope both of you don't feel too lonely!! ;-)
