MSG Area 3 has been quietly meeting for some months now at a regular meeting and time in order to work out the mechanics of having larger open meetings.
A brief note on this: MSG 3 has been meeting infrequently as a core group for over a year but had worked hard to make a standard time and only within the last 6 months we have been able to stabilize on a working date and time and an order of business.
So, at the last meeting we decided we were ready to open up to anyone in the area who is interested in meeting. So here we go:
Meeting Time: First Wednesday of the Month. 9:30 PM
Meeting Location: BW3 in Bloomington
Meeting Purpose: To discuss training, 2A related political action, and other material activities related to the MSG idea in MSG3.
Meeting Mechanics: Come on time and the first portion of the meeting is held on a loose use of Rogers Rules of Order. Once we are done with the meeting itself people tend to stay and chat. It is a noisy venue, so focus in the first portion of the meeting is vital and the thing that has kept us small.
Current Activities Being Worked On: The HT paper and current legislation has loomed large for the MSG3 and we have worked to coordinate our efforts. We will review all of this at our next meeting. Additionally, a cold weather shoot and cold weather campout are on the table as possibilities (we have a place, just need a time based on people's interest).
New Items: Up to each person to propose. However, we need to be very careful with a group so young and diverse. Come and listen, and eat, and let's see where we go!
Let me or Longbow know if you have any questions or ideas you want to prep for our next meeting. And for those who cannot attend due to timing, we have wrestled with the time over and over and this is the best compromise we could come up with. Oh, and as for a quieter venue, we have been looking and not found one yet.
