Re: Creating a Mars Society Chapter - Any ideas onhow to create a Mars chapter

Hi everyone,
       In my ever expanding ambition, I have come across the idea of setting up a chapter in my local area. Does anyone know anything that would be good to know before I start? Like is there a age or job that is required to be elligiable to start one. I'd really appreciate any information you can give me. thanks and On to Mars.

Re: Creating a Mars Society Chapter - Any ideas onhow to create a Mars chapter

I was wondering similar things.  I have read over all of the materials on the Society website for starting a High School Chapter and looked through the prepared presentation and script but still want some more info before I go ahead with anything.  I live in Connecticut myself, and according to the Society website there isnt a Connecticut Chapter... So can you more experienced members help me out also..

Thanks

For SpaceNut ... the email address is from 2002....

A quick google search revealed a name and telephone number for a person by that name living in North Dakota.

The rest of the citations were about Outlook and Hotmail.

If anyone knows (has has time to find out) please update the information provided by RobertDyck in 2002.

The forum is an entity without storage space in the Mars Society.  Perhaps there is a classification short of "chapter" that would allow the forum to "own" storage space on Mars Society servers.

The storage provided to the Canadian chapter is a model for what might be possible, but it appears to be a relic of earlier and happier times.

The storage I'd like to see would be managed by Administrators and Moderators the way a Dropbox account is managed, but owned by Mars Society.
