Here are some examples from last year that you are free to borrow from and
remix:
The Chicago one looks pretty simple, maybe base on that one or Stanford.
The amount is $500-2,000, and you can do one central event or possibly
distribute among several in New England.
You can mention it will be promoted to the general public via the
CentralNotice banner, and that you expect a large percentage to be
newcomers, so this is not just a meetup.
Thanks,
Richard

meetup?
Hi all,
Welcome to new members, and hello to everyone who was able to join us at
WikiConference New England! It was exciting to meet everyone.
We had a nice meetup of people in New England at the conference. Notes are
here:

1) There was a suggestion of creating a new slack channel for discussion.
I just created this, you can join with this link:
https://join.slack.com/t/wikinewengland/shared_invite/enQtODMyNTg1NTg4MzcyL…
it is
wikinewengland.slack.com, if you have trouble with the invitation
let me know.
2) For those who don't know: you can apply to the Wikimedia Foundation for
a "rapid grant" for small expenses related to an editathon or other event.
For Wikipedia Day 2020 events this year (January 15) you'll need to apply
in this month's cycle - so by November 15 (in 2 days!) (December is being
reserved for proposals related to Wiki Loves Africa). details:

I know many people do host events, so wanted to make you aware of this. We
will be having a big editathon at MIT that week.
3) related, I would like to offer to host a followup New England
organizers meeting at MIT, where we can get together and talk about
activities at our respective institutions. When would be a good time to do
this?
all best,
Phoebe
