[clue] Review of last night

[David L. Willson]

Chris, and anyone else that has an interest:

Maybe posting Gus's posters or something similar on local community boards like you see in the entry-ways of some businesses would work.

I don't have time to take it on, but I might be able to help with it, if someone else does. So, if someone made the flier and handed 1-3 of them to each active member at next meeting...  I could find homes for mine.

A user group can expect about 5-10% of registered members to show up
for any well advertised event. So if we had 30 people in attendance.
then I suspect we are reaching about 600 members or so.

If we want to get the meeting attendance up then we have to grow the
mailing list and other notification channels.   Anyone have ideas were
we can advertise events and solicit new members?

Hansen's at Pearl and Louisiana seems like a good venue for the after
meeting/social gathering. Near by and lightly loaded on a Tuesday
evening.   We could also try Lincolns Road House at Buchtel and
Arazona.

It makes the investments of time and energy by the presenter and the team, and the contributions by sponsors, more "worth it". So, please share your ideas on how we can reach 50+.
