Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Join the email list on the website, then attend an event you hear about, or fill in the volunteer form on the Get involved page..

What to expect

The events page and newsletter are where activity is posted, and the site does not say how long events run, who attends, or what they cost. The group says many members first came through a learning circle, an event, or volunteering. Email greatgtown@gmail.com to ask about the next event before you go.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask by email for the time and place of the next event, since the events page does not show them.
  • The group's address is a post office box, so the meeting place will come from the event notice or the reply to your email.
  • Follow the group on Facebook or Instagram, where event posts go up.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The email list, the volunteer form and the event register links are all public, and the site suggests attending an event as a first step. No event times or places are posted and no membership step is shown, so the rating stays at 3..
