What we’re about
1) Purpose: to hybridize two pre-existing communities, to form something new that builds from the best of what either already offers and then exert feedback to those original groups of people.
a) Republicans
b) any groups that encourage the development of the Lyons District of Clinton, Iowa; particularly tourism, shopping, working, and residing in Lyons.
2) Target audience: especially those who already engaged in (a) and (b) above, but wanting to build up something newer and better, in a more direct pursuit of their personal interests. Also, the existence of this new group could act as a gateway to their parent organizations for our members who do not already engage in those meetings.
3) Meetup activities:
a) The sharing of Food and Drink. Our preference would be to physically meet in Lyons restaurants and form solid relationships rooted in the tangible reality rather than in virtual ones that always seem to miss the boat somehow.
b) The sharing of gossip and the composing of a newsletter for any concerned parties that were unable to attend the meetings in person.
Note: Down the road, we could potentially put services like VIDEO CONFERENCING into use, especially if we can create video recordings that could be posted online for easy distribution and dissemination. This will have to come later if and when we decide to do it.
