Maine Meeting !!!

Is a hastily thrown together unofficial m&g really worth all this? And most importantly, cancelling the northern m&g that grizzley was working on? Its been said several times here, and we all know the facts. Weve got wheeling up here. We have good people up here. Unless we meet up, nothing is ever going to happen. No offence to grizzley, but the whole thing has a bad taste of "if you play with someone else today I wont be your friend." I know thats an exageration, but seriously is this whole thing any more than that? I dont think so, whatever the circumstances behind it. There was no screw you and your meet and greet anywhere, Im sure most people wanted to do both. Hell if I could find the time I would m&g every weekend in a month.

Long story short, everyones apologized, everyone knows this was blown outa proportion. Why not have the meet and greet as Grizzly was planning? Absolutely nothing has changed.

ok lets close this issue once and for all. Grizzley was planning a M&G, just because dates arent set and a location isnt sert yet it was WELL KNOWN that it was in the works for a set month. this thread started out with some VERY CRITICAL staements regarding the other thread and it's lack of progress. we understand now that it wasnt meant that way but the impatience and disregard in the planning for this was a kick in the balls that, although not intended, DID HAPPEN. it's too bad you didnt get more people to come out, and there realy isnt any problem with wanting to get togehter with other NAXJAers in you area. but your timing just plain sucked this time around.
we absolutely NEED more active people in the chapter and Maine is definately a place we are lacking organization and we could use you. just because you arent BOD doesnt mean you cant talk to us and help us out or get us to HELP YOU.

i think you may have learned now that a hastily planned M&G in a Walmart parking lot doesnt always turn out well. thats why time was being taken to find a place with something to do and make us want to travel that far and pay for a hotel.
it all came down to timing, we were palnning for March and you did as well. we NEED stuff to happen in Maine, and doing it as NAXJA wil promote the organization and hopefully spur membership. thats the real motivation behind our plan. if someone is gonna "rethink" their potential membership because they think people are "throwing a tantrum" maybe they need to get a better veiw of the big picture.
I have to agree with Mike, if only for the fact he brought up a good point about organization. I joined NAXJA for this reason. I met someone in Ohio who impressed me with the organization as a whole... a few years later I joined. Though I don't know all the officers, I trust their best intentions towards the organization, its cause and its members. If something is going to have NAXJA's name on it, it really should be done through the right channels. It's too bad this got blown way out of proportion. I like upper Maine; it's people, it's land and especially the ratio thereto. I would like to go up there, if only to meet a few of you. Maybe we all can work together on another meeting up there? I hope my opinion doesn't offend anyone. If so, I apologize.

I agree...everyone here has apologized more than once and obviously this was a gigantic misunderstanding...

Even though my anarchist views may be clouding my vision of the big picture, I fully agree on putting this behind us and just moving on...hopefully to something positive for the ENTIRE chapter and our sport....

just my humble .02...if it matters
