I am in communication with Jarrod about MASM.
There has been some hard times for MASM, and I feel with the help of the people, I (we) can turn things around.
I will keep you all up to date with any changes, and we can go from there.
With the recent decline in member participation at meetings etc, I think that drastic changes will need to be made to spark interest in meeting attendance.
Therefore the general style and approach to meetings would likely need to change.
My initial thoughts would be to make more field trip based meetings, be it to a aquarium, another reefers house, bar, zoo, wherever. Just something to change it up.
Also, perhaps more DIY events where different projects can be done. i.e. DIY frag plugs, photography how-to's, fragging lessons, general how-to's.
I am my no means in any authority in MASM, but have offered to meet with the existing board members to talk about the future of the group.
Id really like to turn things around, and make a go of it.
If it doesn't work out, than we can talk about different options.
MASM has been in existence for quite a while. The reality is that they have had a tough time getting enough people to consistently attend events.
