Welcome, Lou, and thanks for organizing! Let us know if you need assistance
creating a meetup page and/or distributing online invitations to
Wikipedians via user talk pages.

Luiza, Yes! Great initiative. Do look the
Research Commons if you're
still
in a exploratory stage for securing the location.
The librarians we've
worked with are unfortunately gone. We've hosted a few events there in
the
past and Wikipedia editing synchronizes well with
the goals of the RC
specifically. Moreover, they've got great flex spaces, equipment, and
lots
of plug-ins. In fact, you might be able to
reserve one of the classrooms
or
areas yourself on the RC homepage.
Having a list of things to work on during the event, and handy materials
for people to use, will definitely help make the event a success. That,
and
lots of publicity. It's worth making a few
personalized invitations to
folks you think would be really great and will recruit their friends.
Food,
too!
Do you plan to have a learn to edit session for newcomers?
