The Bakersfield Chapter met Saturday, Sept 26 in the Starbucks coffee shop at the local Barnes and Noble.  As Mg N. – reading-voraciously reported:  “We chatted and learned.  Desiree K. coached Caralynn R. in using the website.  Carol W. explained why she lives where she does in retirement.  I checked out our compatibility in our books ~ not one member has been higher than about 34% before I checked out my local new best friends.  Every one of them is 41% or higher.  (And they are so very nice ~ thank you, PBS!) We will be meeting again in November before the hectic holidays.”

New Local Chapter Leaders:

  • Cathy N. – morpha – SW WA/Coastal NW Oregon
  • Kim S. – kscha2017 – Eastern WI
  • Misty M. – mistyake – Kansas City, MO

If you want to be a Local Chapter Leader for PBS, you just need to have a PBS NIckname, a viewable public profile, and some organizational skills…check the Local Chapter Leaders Forum List of Official Chapters to see if your area already has a local Chapter. If not, and you want to do this, just contact us. There are no formal guidelines for being a Chapter Leader.  All of the information is in the Local Chapter Leader Discussion Forum topic. If you are an official Chapter Leader and want us to include your upcoming meetup in the Newsletter, send in a message to us with the date, at least a week before the end of the preceding month.

PBS Local Book Club Chapters: Newsletter – December 2006

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Wanna meet your PBS buddies IRL (in real life)? We have some brave souls who are willing to be “PBS Local Chapter Leaders”. These super-organized folks have volunteered to be responsible for arranging PBS meet-ups in their areas.

Brookie (Brook S.) is our Chapter Leader for the NJ/Tristate Area chapter. She is already brainstorming for January—contact her if you want to know more.

ALMOverton (Alyssha O.) is our Chapter Leader for New York City. All of you in NYC or environs, give her a (PM) holler!

Anyone else who is interested in organizing an area (it can be city, state, county, regional—whatever you like), please let us know by sending in feedback to us telling us what area you want to “organize”. Local Chapter Leaders must have a PBS nickname (which means you must make a public profile) in order to be a Chapter Organizer, so that others can find you in the Member Directory. You can make a public profile in your account settings, under “My Account” on the right side of your account page, or from the Member Directory itself. We extend our thanks to our Local Chapter Leaders! We have some other names from other regions of the country, but they haven’t made Public Profiles yet—we’ll let you know how to get in touch with them when they do.
