Why not?

I know this sound's silly. But, it seems the hardest thing to do Is to find mate/mates.
And, even harder if you are not the popular "norm".
With all this in mind, why not a get together. Somewhere were most people in the room or friend's can get together for 1st times and, hang out in a social situation where they have like idea's and wants. Which is Of course alot safer than just meeting one person online.
It could be arranged in a public place for saftey reasons. And, Heck it could even be like a Family reunion type of thing. We're people from all over could meet up once a year and, be around like people.
I dunno, Just seems like a Suggestion
Any thoughts??

Your idea of meeting is admirable. . .
However, it is sad that less than 10 out of over 1000 members on this site think so. Or, maybe only these have been online since the posting. Where would a meeting take place?
Assuming that most members here are from the US it is a long way from East Coast to West Coast---maybe just a day by plane. But, what of the possibility of those in each state connecting up with others in their same state? And, for those outside the US, then those particular Counties connect-up? Then maybe 2008 there could be a "Family-Reunion" where everyone could meet.
In fact, if the owner of the site might allow that each State and outside County post the name of their area (State or Country) maybe every member living in that area would answer letting others know where they are. For example a posting for: Alabama (used Alabama since it is alphabetically first in the US)---then each member from Alabama answer that posting to make plans for a get-together; etc.
Anyway, this is just a thought off the top of my head. With some real-thought put into this someone might come up with a really good idea. Thanks for letting me ramble. Have a great weekend.

I would be happy to have my company host one. We would need to be discreet. However, there is a wonderful park on a lake near us. Has small playground and has boat launch on a lake.
It is in WI not far from the IL border.
How do we go about arranging this?
GREAT IDEA!

Meeting
It's a shame you all don't keep the biblical Feast of Tabernacles. Not everyone that does believes in poly, but it would be a time of gathering. This year it's the last week of october and the first few days of november...
YHWH Bless!

Its definently an option.
Its definently an option. I would like to meet more poly people.
It would be nice to find friends in california
there are few people you can talk to it would be nice to find people close to each of us even if it was just a support group. I made the mistake of rescuing a lady with kids only to find out she was hitting the chats and message boards so she could take from familys not share with them. also with the way the churches and media who by the way are against our way of life .it would be nice to meet others with like mind sets
I would love to get together
I would love to get together with poly people. Be nice to just hang out do BBQ's or whatever because then you can relax and enjoy family without weird looks or rude comments from poly bashers

I think that would be a great idea! I would love to get together with my new friends. Now if only there were a way...lol.
What ever happened to?
I know someone used to always say "were there is a will there is away". Or something along those lines. There is all this time in chat to think think think about it and, ponder exactly how and when or where it would be done. It would be interesting to see if it could be done.
Midwest Poly Gathering...
I have the will. If anyone is interested in gathering in the Midwest, email me at mannednet@yahoo.com
We will be happy to participate.

Gatherings
I don't think getting together is that difficult of a proposition. It's just that we are such a scattered group. Gatherings would probably be best done regionally (i.e. NE, SE, Mid-West, Texas, West Coast). I suppose that if someone from each region acted as a "host" to co-ordinate the gathering. But participants would need to not only commit to being there, but to contribute to the cost that might be incurred. Folks these days are very money-minded and might be willing to pay for a two or three day trip somewhere. But gatherings would be great. Put a face on the names we talk to online. And it would give folks who are new to the idea of poly a chance to see real poly families at work.
