Hi, Bess! I just joined last night and I’m so happy to hear from you. I live in Hollister but I knew I’d have to travel some to find other groups. I’ve looked at the groups in the Bay area and found that not many people are active. I thought we would go places together and do things like attend plays or movies, dinners, book clubs, anything! But it does not seem to be on the agenda, at least not near me. So maybe we can get this party started! I’m planning on Rome and the UK cruise but I was hoping for local activities. That’s really why I joined. What about you? Is there anything in particular that you expected when you joined? ~ Echo Arnett

Welcome! I am from Southern California and have found the same to be true in my area. Let’s se if we can get the party started in our areas and maybe meet up sometime for an event. Lets connect here first.

So we have So Cal and No Cal represented and I am in Central Cal. So if you want to get a party started you should each head my way. I am in Bakersfield. We just had a Steampunk Adventure in April to celebrate the RHS birthday/anniversary (I am never sure which we are supposed to call it). We have a regional celebration twice a year hosted by our Queens Council. Next up, hosted by the council is our Christmas in November. Now I know none of you are close enough to join my chapter, but if you are interested in our regional events, drop me a line. ucdoublej@aol.com or message me here. I try to get online every couple of weeks, but things were very busy recently as my chapter was completely responsible for the Steampunk Adventure. So, Welcome!
