I agree.  Another member (one who hasn't been able to make it to a
meeting, yet, but she's on the list) and I were discussing this on the
train the other day.  I have to say that I agree.  This group is sadly
lacking in organization.  This lack of organization is fine, if all we
want to do is have monthly meetings at a free venue.  If we want to do
other things, like install fests, advertise, etc., we need to have some
organization.

No, I don't hear voices in my head;
I'm the one that tells the voices in your head what to say.
