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. Michael W.
