[clue] Review of last night

[dennisjperkins at comcast.net]

I'm seeing more people subscribing than unsubscribing now. No idea if they are coming to meetings. 

I'll try to remember to ask Prosoft if we can put up a poster the next time I go there. I might be able to post at Club Workshop too. Does Microcenter have a place where we can post? 

If someone takes over from Kevin, we could keep posting meeting and installfest info there.

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+.
