@mlaughlinnyc posted:There are easy ways to have small meetings when the weather is nice. NETCA is having its first meeting of the year this coming Sunday. IT will be in the parking lot of the Minute Man Visitor Center, part of the NPS. We'll be able to back up our SUV's, vans and pickups to a grassy area where there are a few picnic tables. There will be some selling but a small group. So far I have 16 members in 14 vehicles who are planning to come. There's enough room to minimize the necessity of masks - part time where we crowd together.
Anyone can set up a meet like this. All that is needed is someone who will take the initiative to check out likely parks and their parking and lawn configuration, set a time and invite the membership.
Speaking of invites, a local email list is needed. All division officers have access to the national list, which has email addresses for 897 of the 1087 members in the NETCA area. I set up NETCA-meets@groups.io and sent invites to join to all of those 897 members - got 50. So there's a way for those really interested and willing to exert a bit of effort to have some local meets.
I am in central Massachusetts and I would like to be included on your email list. I tried to send an email to the address embedded in your post but it was kicked back.
