A few days ago I saw an email that suggested we meet during the day at a park. I think is a great idea...and I recall some others did as well.
There is a HUGE covered area at Draper Park that would make a great meeting place. And I'm sure there are many similar spots statewide. I would rather meet up during the day preferably between 12-5 pm.
I think the advantages for meeting at a park would be:
1. Families can bring their kids. Kids can play.
2. We can make the atmosphere a little more "fun" and hopefully draw more members to the meeting.
3. We can bring signs and hang them near us while we meet, which might draw curious park goers to talk with us or listen in...but if nothing else they will see Ron Paul revolution signs which equals exposure.
4. It's a neutral meeting place and will likely allow the more shy members to want to come down to the meeting.
5. Day time would maybe allow more people to participate because, some of us.... including myself have a full night of clubbing to do. /sarcasm
6. Beverages and BBQ! (I'll volunteer to bring hot dogs for everyone!!)
Also if we had supplies and spray paint it would be easier to get people to help make signs after the meeting...I know I would.
I'll try to get an image posted of the very large pavillion at Draper Park. I realize that this would be more of a summer time thing but it's a start.
These are my thoughts. PLEASE POST YOUR IDEAS.
