(7,587 posts)I served for 2 years ending this month. During that time I felt good that the average monthly meeting attendance grew from about 15 to about 25. Then Trump got elected. In my last 3 meetings the attendance moved to 50, 60, and then 100.
In the February meeting we didn't have enough space for everybody in the room we always rent. Fortunately there was a vacant space with a moveable divider adjacent to our room and we were able to expand. We conducted the business portion of our meeting and then broke into 3 groups- one to write letters to our congressmen, one for social media training, and one for brainstorming. We had "Indivisible Guides" which we sold for our cost of printing. We signed up and collected annual dues from 20 new members.
We live in interesting times.
