If anyone here lives in the vicinity of Tri-Cities, WA and would like to attend an x-jw meet-up this month send me a personal message I don't want to post time/location here for EVERYONE to see since some members attending still have family in....and some who are themselves still "in" may be there.
I'm from Oregon and most of us use the MeetUp.com programe. It's at www.meetup.com follow the links to Portland and you'll get all the info for the next meet up from there. It's always on the first Sat. of the month somewhere in Portland, and you need to register with them to find out the info. I don't think at this time there is one closer to you, however there are a couple of other posters here from the Tri-Cities area and if you can get as many as five to go you can arrange a local meet up through Meet Up.com. Of course you can get together on your own without them, lol.
Hope to meet you at the meet up in March, it's going to be a big one as there is a "surprise" guest in town that weekend.
We actually have about 5-6 people here and have organized a time/place for our meeting this month - but we didn't use the x-jw meetup on-line as we didn't want to advertise...like I said.....some still have family "in". But one of the members suggested posting a quick blurb here in case other posters from this area want to meet with us.
