Hi to all who might be interested in Madrads.
We again have had no attendance for Madrads group at the infoshop for 5 weeks straight. This is a pattern that has been going on for several months now. I can't run this group alone. It's getting colder outside now, and the time restraints and issues with me not having a car either are not boding well for this winter. I feel bad about doing this again, but I can't keep this up. I'm pulling the ad out of the Isthmus and cancelling the meetings, so disregard any ads you may see about madrads still meeting (I put a number of advertisements out about the group but had not much in the way of results).
This doesn't sit too well with me, because I don't want to see an important resource in Madison disappear. It would be useful to myself too to still have this resource available, but we need people coming to the groups more often to make it happen. No groups without people.
If anyone is interested, I propose some things- change in location- like downtown madison at the Memorial which is more convenient and does not require unlocking the building, or take over keyholding responsibility at the Infoshop, or the possibility of creating a new group entirely.
Please let me know on this. I can be contacted through the listserve. (madrads@googlegroups.com) or feel free to send a PM or email. For now I am pulling the ad out of the newspaper, and not holding the meetings again.
