A page has been set up onwiki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/September_8,_2008> and you are invited to sign the attendee list.
We look forward to hearing from any and all Wikimedians in the New York City area that would like to participate in chapter activities or volunteer to serve in an official position.
Thank you, [[User:Jeremyb]] (SUL)

Sorry to put this up on such short notice.
On of our group, David Shankbone, has just taken the initiative of incorporating Wikimedia New York City, Inc in the last days.
It will be necessary now to hold an initial organization meeting to select officers. This process will be lead by the interim board we selected at the June meetup (Becksguy, Gosgood, DGG, Daniel Case and myself), and it is especially important that these people can attend, but we want to open this to all NYC Wikimedians who want to voice their opinion or volunteer for a position like President, Treasurer, Secretary or Press Officer.
In a few months we can develop a proper membership system, and then we will hold general elections for a more permanent board.

Though you should plan to be free Monday evening at 7 for a meeting probably somewhere in Manhattan, we don't have an exact space selected yet. So consider this a heads-up until we have further details. Also, it is still possible that the timing may change in future; but remain assured we will update this list on any changes.
Thanks, Pharos
