This was a good meeting and a good speaker. This group was trying a new venue and seemed to find the conference room and food service suitable for their needs. The group has been meeting for about a year.
There were 20-25 people attending. [My count was 20 and then several others came in.] Everyone was pleased with the speaker. Besides Nancy Doty there were only two other people that I recognized from previous events and one person made reference to the idea that the group seemed more like a grassroots offshoot from the Republican party. They were interested in ideas for other speakers and most were surprised to learn that there have been as many as 200+ grassroots liberty groups identified in Colorado or there was the Independence Institute.
This might be a good group for some of the people I have met who want a group that appears more sedate than activist or wants to make additional contacts. The location is reasonably accessed from I-25 and Belleview Ave. so the 4th Wednesday might be good to keep in mind.
Also, the next Rocky Mountain Black Tea Party monthly meeting will be March 17 (Saturday) at 6:30 in Colorado Springs which might be of interest if anyone wants to put together a carpool. [note: the Arapahoe County GOP assembly is earlier that day.]

Thank you very much, Wilma. I was sorry I couldn't attend. What was the turnout like?
