A couple of us are exploring the options on this. Anyone here interested in attending? Which location would you prefer? Would either location be prohibitive?
Timing…still need to explore, but either this fall or possibly spring.
Let’s talk!
Possibly the one in St. Louis, but it’s still 6 hours away. And depending on timing it may not work as dh deploys this fall and again in the spring. How about Kansas City? That’s only 3 hours away…and they have a LegoLand!
Kansas City is not on the list of options…but sounds like there are a few people out that way so maybe you guys should start talking!
I think it is so funny that with 8 people commenting, we only have 3 people actually speaking up for Chicago or STL! lol Maybe we need to start mulitple threads calling all moms to a few selecdt cities — we all love SCM! Yay! <3
All of the above are waaaayyyy to far for me. Someday
. I hope you all can get together and enjoy learning more about CM…I’ll just keep watching the videos, reading, and using the web.Might I make a friendly suggestion as one who has hosted Sonya twice. The organizer(s) should choose the place that works best for her. I would never want to do it outside of my hometown. The days are long and you will either have to travel each day or get a hotel. IMHO, part of the benefit of organizing is that you do what works for you. Then you simply invite others to come, if interested. As you can see from the responses so far, it will be hard to get a consensus. You must also consider the venue and what that could cost. I’ve been fortunate that my church allows us to use the buildings for free, while many others charge for meeting space.
This is also how I run our CM co-op. It must meet the needs of my family first because of the huge amount of time I put in to make it happen. Of course, I’m interested in meeting others’ needs too, but it is impossible to meet all of the needs, all of the time. You may find asking which location to be the same type of thing.
Yes, those are great suggestions! This 2-city choice started because Kristina and I live in those two different cities but neither of us knows (m)any other CM families and were hoping to come up with a core group here. It’s a been a decade since I’ve organized a CM or other seminar, and they are invigorating and exhausting all at the same time. But what I’ve gleaned from all the responses on this thread is that the Kansas City people need to get together and plan something!!
I really like your approach on this, though, and it comes at a good time for me as I am considering trying to start a local group.
It’s very difficult for us to coordiante an even from a distance. So when we come for a seminar we really do rely on you to put together the details like rounding up enough attendees and finding a venue. So as missceegee said, it’s best to pick a location that’s convenient and local for you. It’s a good bit of work to make it all happen.
Regarding Chicago or St. Louis, I wonder if one of those would draw in people from Peoria, IL? There’s quite a contingent of CM families there and Peoria is about the same distance from St. Louis and the Chicago suburbs.
