Hi Johnny Rotten-- There is actually quite a large number of us in the Salem area. I'm not sure who still follows this board or not. On one of the "other" boards there is contact info for a Salem chapter. We haven't gotten together in some time. Might be fun to reconnect. Or if you'd like to get together for coffee with someone just let us know.
But that will not be around now till next July. I know some get together up in Portland but that is a ways. If anyone wants to plan something please do. There are a couple of good wineries in Amity. No need for chapters or things like that.
We have acre other people in Oregon City and a few in Salem. The next Portland Meetup will be October 13 (Sunday) 3:00-6:00 @ McMenamins Ringside in the back room. There are some happy hours going on each week and some early/mid day coffee chats. Location varies depending on who is going. For those that work in downtown Portland, there is going to be a lunch get together every so often. Email me if you want more info heathjh@ gmail.com
