Ok, I have searched for Chapters in my area and found many that are closed to new members. Would this be because they are no longer active or full and cant handle more members?
I have contacted a couple that still said they were open to new members by clicking on the [contact] and sending inquiry. I have not received any response.
Leads me to the ? Are they still active or are they defunct? Are there any requirments, organization tools or checks and balances that keep one from just saying I want to start one then never really going anywhere with it?
I saw in a different thread something about it having one big Chapter or HenHouse then subdivided into regions. Something along that lines anyway. I think that is a good idea with both Chapters and HenHouses that are not "interest" oriented such as Sewing, bees, soapmaking, etc. "Interest" oriented could be seperate as they are.
I really want the Chapters and HenHouses to succeed and fourish without loosing those interested but are confussed.
I am willing to help orgainize the state of Florida Which until it grows more could have quarterly "meet-ups" that are held at different parts of the state so that if you cant make it this time...you could the next. With regional Hens being active in there ares.
Thanks bunches,
Kayce

I have a Florida henhouse called the Sunshine Farmgirl Co-op you are welcome to join us. You have to email Brian and get access to any henhouse. You cannot just jump in.
Give him your forum name and sister # and which henhouses you want to join.
Hugs,

Marsha,
I got your email.  I'm emailing ya back.
Rene,
It looks like Chapters are becoming active again. That is great!!
I'm gonna get with Marsha like you suggested. There is so much potential and am excited because I know with time, effort and patience it will grow and flourish. We just have to figure what crop grows best here

I also contacted a couple of chapters and never heard back. It would probably be more "convenient" for me to start a chapter in my town since the others are at least an hour's drive from me.
I really don't know what/how to begin. So I'll need to keep digging around old posts before I make the commitment to start one here.
Thanks for this post! |

Something else I've done is organize a group out of my friends. We get together and have tea parties and card class and quilting groups. I started some out on the MJF magazine and that got them hooked. But, they do not have time for the forum group, so I plan things out of the magazine or merit badges I'm working on with them.
My goal this year is to ask them to at least join the henhouse chapter and get their sister number and certificate.
