Location: Tool Shed, 2427 N Murray Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211

We'll be talking about what shapes as into the poly people we are: how did our backgrounds, values, and personalities shape the way we live our lives as polys. We'll also be discussing future social gatherings, the PLN conference, and receiving copies of Ravenscroft's book Polyamory (if you requested one be ordered for you. If you want one but haven't told us before now, let me know. The books are $21.95 plus tax from the Tool Shed).

We'll be meeting at the Tool Shed tomorrow at 7 like usual. I've not really got a topic, so I'll let folks bring things to do the table. We might discuss some of the books out there on Poly if you'd like to suggest some reading. Perhaps we'll look into reading some passages for next time and discuss. Hope to see folks there.

This month's meeting will be on March 18th (the third Wednesday of the month).

We'll be talking about open communication in relationships and how to bring up polyamory, or the topic of it, to new or potential partners. Bring some thoughts; bring some friends.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in posting this; it's been a rather hectic month, and the lot of us have been more than a bit distracted with a variety of things. Being that as it is, I am posting this bit of an agenda for those of you who will be attending tomorrow's meeting at The Tool Shed.

We'll be talking about a few things: What is Poly?, What does it mean to be Poly?, and What are the "types" of Poly?. These will be our major topics of discussion, and we'd like to look into proposing the first book to start looking into for the group. Please do bring some ideas.

Starting in 2009, we will be an official group. Nyla, Elle, and I will be moderating a group here in Milwaukee that will meet monthly. We hope to make it a very discussion-based group that can focus on a great many topics related to poly, relationships, sexuality, and the like.

We will be meeting at The Tool Shed in Milwaukee. The website is: www.toolshedtoys.com. The address for the store is on the site, as is their phone number should you need it. You can also always feel free to email me if you have more specific questions. We'll be meeting the third Wednesday of each month, beginning on January 21st.

If you're planning on attending, please let me know, so I have an idea of how many people will be there and how many chairs we'll need. Please also bring some ideas for what we can do with the group. Nyla and I already have some ideas, and we'll bring those up at the group. I look forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones.

Edit: we've solidified a time for meeting at The Tool Shed. We'll be starting the meeting at 7pm. Please do show up a few minutes early, so we can start the meeting as close to 7 as possible and get out before Laura closes shop.
