[SEDXC] Meetings and Small Attendance

[Carl]

Hi Folks, I have read with interest the on going discussion about 
meetings and distances traveled, and so on.
I will just be happy to finally get settled in AL so I can make the 2 
hr. drive to the club meetings!
I belong to the Woodbridge Wireless club here in northern VA and we are 
located about 30-40 miles from DC.  Many of our members commute (drive, 
ride train or bus, car pool, or slug) for anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours 
ONE WAY to work each day.  It is very hard to get a big crowd at a club 
meeting unless it is a really special program.  It is hard to get up 
much enthusiasm when you have worked 8 to 10 hours and sat in traffic a 
total of 5-6 hours, besides all the family and home obligations people have.
Accept the fact that many will not be able to attend and work on the 
Club's "Value added" aspects.
On a personal note, hopefully, we can get this house on the market in 
the spring and make like a shepherd soon!  73, Carl
