Since creating my account in July - I've witnessed several local friends join the Steemit community. I've also had the pleasure of forming new friendships via meeting other participants on the site - some in my hometown, some just a little ways down the road. Upon review - there seems to be a growing contingent of Steemians in the greater Ozarks region - and the flock is ever expanding!
Tonight I call the Banners - and am happy to report that we're in the process of organizing this area's first Steemit Community Meetup!
Festivities are scheduled to take place on Saturday January 21st - from 11:30am - 3pm at Travelers House Coffee in Springfield, Missouri. (Address: 2151 W Republic Rd, Springfield, MO 65807)
Thus far we have RSVPs from some rather infamous Steemians. As it stands: @papa-pepper, @jessamynorchard, @winstonwolfe, @stellabelle, (and yours truly @giftedgaia) are confirmed for the festivities!
And I'm certain there are many more of you on the site that are within the area - so if you're reading this and think you can attend - your invitation stands ready & waiting.
Prepare for a meeting of the minds - a meeting that would NOT be taking place had it not been for all the efforts of EVERYONE on the site that has invested their time & talents in an attempt to build this community to the prominence that it now holds. (Thank YOU!)
This event is still a month away, hopefully giving everyone adequate time to plan - and I'd love to meet some of my favorite local posters 'face to face' should you wish to make the trip.
More details to follow as the assembly approaches - until then - Steem On my Friends!
Kind Regards,
