Champlain Valley REIA (Vermont)??

[Samantha Hiscock]

I've heard mixed reviews regarding this group. There is a meeting this Thursday (3/26), is it worth attending? Does anyone out there in BP-land plan on going? My local group is now defunct because 70% of them run off to Florida 5 months out of the year. I'd like to find a new group that means atleast somewhat regularly.

Hey Sam - It was great meeting you last night at the CVREIA meeting. I must admit that your earlier comment on the post is the common perception of the group. The REIA has been "incorporated" for 6 or 7 years and despite the efforts Tony has made, it's struggling. I agree with Aaron, that the group struggles because few people have taken the initiative to improve it. I was speaking with Tony the other day, and we have some ideas that should help stabilize, and eventually provide ongoing value to, its membership. It was nice having you there because unlike several other members, you have experience and can provide valuable insight and lessons to the others who may be just beginning. I hope that you can continue to come, as I plan on working hard to build this into a quality group.

Graham - I just finished listening to your episode of the podcast and it was freakin' awesome. We'd love to have you come up and check out the CVREIA. The more, the merrier.
