“ All those attending the latest meeting were openly friendly, and strangers became friends in short order. Groups of various sizes formed naturally when discussing specific points about water gardening, and regrouped in other combinations as more members joined in and new subjects came up. Although our get-togethers are scheduled to last from 3 to 6 PM, we've had times when the conversations didn't end until 11 PM. We hope those attending tell their friends about our group, its web site, and the free membership and twice-monthly meetings. We currently have over 100 families as members, and room for several more. ”

“ Every new member of the Society tells us how warmly they were welcomed at their first meeting. All our long-time members seem to be eager to meet newcomers who have a love for turtles and tortoises. The members share their experiences and anecdotes about their own pets, and appreciate the sound advice they get from the expert herpetologists who attend the monthly meetings. These events are both educational and enjoyable social events. We've made many new friends through this organization, most of whom we never would have met otherwise, and frequently meet them for social activities between Society meetings. ”

“ All Organizers who receive previews of prospective improvements can advise their groups' members of what to expect when the changes are launched. The more experienced Organizers can advise Meetup HQ of potential problems the changes will make before they're launched. Peter and Suzanne ”
