New Organizer - Introducing yourself by email

Organizer CenterCommunicating With Members › New Organizer - Introducing yourself by email

Meetup.com sends an automatic announcement when you become the Organizer of a group that already has members. It's a good idea, though, to send a personal introduction to tell members about yourself. Why did you decide to organize the group? Do you have any special plans for group events? Any suggestions you'd like to get or share? You can invite them to contact you, and perhaps to include a special message to members who haven't been to a Meetup in a while.

Here's a sample introduction to get you started:

Dear Boggle Players,

I bit the bullet and signed up to organize the Anytown Boggle Meetup Group so that we have a chance to get together. Seems like a great way to meet new people.

I've been playing Boggle for a few years, but I'm no expert. I plan to play for fun, not competitively, and I welcome people of all skill levels to join me. To get us started, I'll bring along door prizes for the best Boggle word and the silliest Boggle word!

So, if you joined a while ago but haven't been to a Meetup in a while--or never made it--I can promise you that someone will be there to welcome you at the next event. I'll be the tall, dark-haired guy carrying a Boggle set!

And if you have suggestions on places to meet, times or days that work better for you, or how you'd like to see the group develop, I'd love to hear them. Just reply to this message, or click 'Contact Organizer' on the group home page.

The next Meetup is on January 23rd at 7pm, at Keith's Coffee House at 223 Bond St. See you there!
