An Association?

[WhereRWe?]

I don't think I would join if it was going to be for Central Maine. I am not in Central Maine. I would like to join though. Why not make the meetings a geocache event. This way it also encourages people to come. Plus you would not have to have it in places in Central Maine all the time. I not saying have the meetings in places like Fort Kent. We could set a limit to how far though. But we could not do them in Bangor all the time. We could do them in between like Lewiston, Bangor area and maybe a little bit further. This would cover the middle of the state and people from Portland would could not attend the meetings that we so far away. They could wait for the closer ones if we were going to do it once a quarter.

I'm easy to get along with. I'l go along with about anything. I just think we need a little bit of organization so that we can have a "central committee" planning geocaching events, not "catch-as-catch-can" like they've been done in the past. The pervious events have been excellent, but they were due to a couple of individuals putting out a lot of effort. We can't keep counting on INDIVIDUALS to host events. We all seem to like them, and we all seem to be looking forward to the next one.

I just think that we need to move to the next step - from a web site where a group of cachers drop in once in a while to a formal organization.

ATTROLL - can you make a banner out of the Geocaching Maine logo at the top of the page - sort of like the one in the link in my original nessage - or like the banner I use as my avatar?

Don't get me wrong I totally agree with you and after reading your reply. I agree it should not be a cache event. But I still think it should not be isulated to Central Maine.

I designed a little banner real quick. I did this in about 15 minutes so it may not be a very good one. I did not know what you wanted for wording. Let me know what you want and I can change it.

As I said, I'm easy to get along with regardless of what RULOST2? tells you.

My only reason for suggesting a "central Maine" organization was that I thought it would be easier to get members to a meeting if it were a fairly regional group.

I like the banners - my only suggestion would be to drop the "organization", and just call the group "Geocaching Maine".

[attroll]

We could still have a Organization and just meet in Central Maine. Just a thought. I have not heard much from anyone else.

I added something to the banner. What do you think? Should I stick with the white background?

Wow! I like that! Why don't you put it up as a poll question - along with the other examples - and see what people think? My gut feeling is that a lot of people don't follow these threads...

I really like the latest banner effort attroll! I like the title Maine Geocaching Organization better though....seems to make more sense "syntax-wise"!

Did someone say beer & wings?

The wife and I have been talking about putting together something like a Beer and Wings event here in the Lewiston Auburn area this winter. But we can not do it until after the Xmas. Then the weather plays a big factor in it. The other factor for us is that this is the middle of snowmobile season so it would have to be a Sunday for us.

OK - then set a date!
