[Harp-L] Need advice on youth/adult harmonica workshop/club

[phyllis731@xxxxx]

We also have a meetup site on both Facebook and Email.  People can find out about you there and know when and where meetings will be.  They can also RSVP if they will attend or not.  Also a place for people to make monetary donations to the group and we take up a collection at every meetup.  This group has been going for some years.  Check out "Chicago Harmonica Meetup" on facebook or e-mail for Meetup groups.

 I appreciate the thoughts, Phyllis. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I can get some space from either our local rec centre or
library without incurring any expenses. It's not for sure yet, of course,
but I've at least approached the recreation programming director about the
idea.

It sounds like you have the kind of group I'd like to form. There are
enough musicians around town that it could work. :)

Thanks again.

Chris
