Women in Midtown (Adventure & Leisure Hive) - New Group Chat

Hello & Welcome! ***THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL EVENT***

Please read the following information carefully so that we're all on same page about this space.

This space is for current members of the Women in Midtown - Adventure & Leisure Hive (and those who are waiting to join) to access the Meetup chat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Why was this event page created?
This page (event) was created to help bridge members of the Women in Midtown to Meetup so we can use their chat feature.

The only way to create a group chat on the Meetup platform is to create an 'event'.

BUT, this page is not technically being used for an event. It's just being used so we can use the group chat feature.

2. Should I leave the Hive once I join this chat?
Yes, however, feel free to be part of both chats if you want. I will begin engaging more in the chat group on Meetup as members join.

When members leave the Hive chat, they open space for others to join that group. Then, I can notify them of the new chat to join.

3. Who should join the new group chat?
Those who actively participate in the Women in Midtown Hive. By participate I mean engage in the chat, answer polls, share information, or come out to events.

4. I currently don't participate, but I plan to. Can I also join?
Yes. Not everyone has been able to participate in the chat or come out to events for different reasons. If this is you and you have an intention to start participating, you are welcome to join as well.

5. Why does the event say it starts in June and ends in June?
The only way to create a general group chat on Meetup (currently) is through an event with a start & end date.

Once the end date of this event comes, hopefully we'll have all active participants in the chat and we can continue to use chat (unless Meetup shuts it down).

6. What will happen if Meetup shuts the chat down?
We alternate ways to stay engaged on Meetup (due to being part of the overall group). Additionally, I will create another similar event so we an continue to use the group chat feature.

We can also use the general group discussion section, other specific event chats that open up to those who RSVP, and there's also a developing message board section we can use.

7. What are some of the benefits for us to use the new chat?

• Participants can follow chat and connect more with other members
• Participants can edit, delete, and copy their messages (comments)
• Participants have more control over their privacy and personal info
• Participants get notifications of events & event updates via email
• Participants experience more clarification on event details
• Participants get to explore other meetups they may be interested in
• Participants can share links, images, etc. with ease
• Participants don't have to uninstall and reinstall app due to glitches
• Participants can add reactions to comments and do directly replies
• Participants will experience less app glitches on Meetup
• Participants will have access to more organized group information
• Participants have the ability to join the chat a cellphone or computer (even when they're out-of-town).

8. I am in a few other Hives that you are the admin of, will you be creating similar chat groups on Meetup or those participants?
Yes. If you're in a co-ed group, I will create similar chat groups in the Intentional Living Social Hub meetup group. Those groups will be hyperlinked in the list below once I create the related chat spaces.

I am the admin of a few Hives on Bumble and will be creating chat groups on Meetup for the following ones:

• Women in Midtown - Adventure & Leisure
• Women's Health & Wellness
• Macrame & Crochet (30+)
• Tea Talks 'n Lattes

Co-ed group chats that will be created in the Intentional Living Social Hub are listed below as well as any chats or those under the age of 19.

• 30s & 40s Men & Women (midtown and nearby areas)
• Fit, Fine, and 50
• Tea Lovers
• Macrame & Crochet (for women those under 30)
• Health, Nutrition, & Fitness
• Tea Talks 'n Lattes (there isn't a hive for this one)
• Recipes

Some hive members have already let me know they're open to jumping into the chat on Meetup. It will be great if we all transition over.

As well, we go through this transition, I ask that everyone be patient as the Meetup app is also still in development which means we have to work within the limits of the app.

If you have any questions or recommendations, please let me know. Looking forward to chatting with you in the new chat spaces on Meetup!

With gratitude,
Paris (aka Be Light)
