Hello everyone, Is anyone having the same problem that im experiencing with joining a local chapter? I have emailed at least 3 chapters in my area an have yet to get a reply. Im so excited to get envolved, but havent heard back. Does it take awhile ??? Does anyone know or have any suggestions. Thanks

Welcome from Georgia, Donna. Maybe you could start your own chapter. There are plenty of Calif. farmgirls. I wish you luck. ANd so glad you have joined us here. There are also "virtual" chapters here.

HI Donna-
I am from Long Island, NY and had the SAME problem...there was a local chapter listed just 15 min or so away and I contacted them twice and NEVER heard back from them. Frustrating for sure, but dont let it dampen your spirits...you will find lots of wonderful girls here, and as Kristin said, perhaps you can eventually start your own chapter. Thats what I am thinkin of doing!
Smiles,
Laurie

Welcome Donna, I cant help with local chapters but there is always something to do right here on the forum, depending on how many hen houses you join.. the girls & mother hens will keep you busy.

Welcome from middle Ga. I agree you can keep yourself busy here. Just join a swap, book club, chats, .... At first I was looking for a local group but with work I have found that I can pick how busy and involved I want to be. Jump right in - so glad that you have joined us, Barbara

Hey Donna,
sometimes chapters get started and then sort of fade away....
I know...we had a chpt. in our area several years ago & the leader became M.I.A. so a few of us tried to keep it going....but, as we say,
sometimes, "Life gets in the way of Life"....but we do try to email and gather up once in awahile.

For sure, put it out there that you would love to 'meet-n-greet' with any MJF gals in the are,,,maybe a lite lunch & a couple hours of Junktiquing...Fresno is probablly a gold mind of junk/antique/thrift shops....
And don't be shy to send emails to gals in your vacinity to get together. Shoot, if I were living out in Biola, i'd be junktiquing with you in a heart beat.
P.S. it's raining cats & dogs here, so I know you all must be having great weather there! lol!

Welcome Donna from a Florida farmgirl at heart! I had a Florida chapter but no one from Florida lived close to me so it never became what I wanted. So, I incorporated it into my co-op that I started and that keeps us busy enough.

If you'd like to join my co-op please email me for the link!!!
Have a Blessed Day!
Marsha

Never mind finding a chapter, I can't even find any local farmgirls. There just aren't many around here at all. Good luck with finding a chapter where you live. I read the forum every day, but it would so wonderful to meet with some farm girls face to face.
