This is a note for Al the Pal: I'm the JPF contact for Orlando and was wondering what you did to get a chapter started and what do you continue to do to run it? I read the feedback from your first meeting, and it sounds like you started out of the gate pretty strong. How are things going? Peace, Dave www.funkUs.com

Dave,
Thanks for the interest and for stopping by to introduce yourself. Jean B. who is the overseer of all chapters has a post on the Chapter coordinator board (before the chapter boards start) where a couple of coordinators have written in legnth about this very subject. Please read and respond by posting a reply there as well.
Our next chapter meeting is this Sunday the 22nd and you are welcome to join us. I will put you on our mailing list also so you are aware of all the activities and corespondence of the Tampa Bay Chapter. Be advised also that there is a Board dedicated to the Tampa Chapter just below the Southeast message board please stop by and say hi.
Keep Strummin' Al

Sounds good! I have read that, but I was hoping to get a more specific example of what worked for you. I'm sure Tampa's scene is a lot different, (not many Tampa bands come here, and vice versa), but surely there are similarities to find.
Thanks for the invite. I probably have to pass, but appreciate being put on your list. I'll keep digging, too...
Peace,
Dave

Dave,
I know that was a long post but it was pretty specific. I think though if I had to pick one thing that was most effective it would be networking. Get out for the evening maybe a Friday and go see 3 or 4 bands. Have some basic flyers and on break introduce yourself and hand out a flyer. Try to get contact information hopefully an e-mail adress and follow up once you set a date for your first meeting. Start making a list it shouldnt take long to round up 20-30 interested folks. Post on the different boards here also and ask people to answer a specific post at the Southeast message board..interest will breed interest.
