Apologies for the redundant message; I sent this a couple weeks ago to a list of user group members and supporters, and one of our members helpfully reminded me of the new official Wikimedia email list we created. On our agenda for this year will be transitioning fully to using ONLY this listserv for user group communications.

Hello, fearless NC Wikipedian colleagues!
It's
been a while since we've been in touch on the user group front.
Danielle and I had a check-in the other night with the goal of picking
things up and moving forward. This message contains a few questions and
updates.
Leadership
Danielle,
who has been the group's chair for the last few years, has started a
doctorate program and has her hands full between that and her full-time
job. First, let's thank her for her excellent leadership these last few
years! Second, does anyone have any interest in taking on a leadership role? That might include chairing or co-chairing, depending on who's interested.
Annual report: Anything to add?
We're
overdue in submitting our annual report, a summary of our group's
activities over the last year. Our reporting year covers May 1, 2020 to
April 30, 2021. I've gotten us started on the report here. Do you have anything to add?
Did you host a Wikipedia event? Attend a conference? Want to add your
name as a participant / supporter? Please make your contributions by Friday, Sept. 24, by 5pm Eastern. At that point, I will call it finished and submit it.
Next meeting
Now
that the summer has ended and folks are back on their regular(ish) fall
schedules, let's find a time for a regular monthly meeting. I'm hoping
we can find a standing time, like "the first [day of the week] of the
month at [#] pm." Please fill out this When2Meet poll to indicate your general availability by Monday, 9/27: https://www.when2meet.com/?12802860-ZabNE. (You can use your real name or your Wikipedia user name.)
Still interested? Know anyone else who might be?
Are
you still interested in being involved with the user group? If so,
great! If not, just let me know and I'll take your name off this list.
Do you know of anyone who might be interested in being involved in the
user group? Feel free to put them in touch with me and we'll get them on
board!
Wishing you all well until we meet again!
