"Oh, January!" sings Colin Meloy

(Reference from the subject line.)There is a lot of stuff coming up this month! 
---
Today, we talked about what we might want from the group for 2020 - what events might interest people, how often said events might happen, etc. We've talked about a number of possible events:
We talked a lot about doing things that could be family oriented. There are a lot of more adult activities that get regular attendees, but more family oriented stuff has always been on the back burner. Today, we talked about doing picnics and trips to bowling alleys/laser tag arenas/arcades. Activities don't necessarily have to be non-alcoholic, but I don't think kids really get much out of going to bars...
The idea of family friendly events spurred a lot of conversation and the potential for a survey that will be created, vetted, and given to the Meetup group so that even people who don't USUALLY come to things can weigh in on what night make them want to.
We talked about doing a second weekly (perhaps staying monthly) discussion Meetup that could be centered around meals, possibly parodying the religious "AWANA" with, "AWANA Eat."
Another point is that SCOTT's final "T" is "Triad," not "Greensboro." We have a lot of members who love outside of Greensboro, and it might be nice if our repertoire of events reflected that.
Though it wasn't mentioned today, we have talked about doing something like an Unbeliever's Day Out with trips to museums, the Science Center, etc. There really are a lot of things in the area to do.
Anyway, there will be a survey soon. I'll send out a draft of it in the next few days to see if anyone has suggestions for questions/events.


Much Love,

Sean
