Hi all, happy first day of fall! Time for a poll to choose the date of the October meetup:

http://doodle.com/poll/fn7isqbeiynm3825

Our usual spot is the Sony Atrium at 550 Madison Ave. I'm open to suggestions though.

I'll leave the poll open until next Tues/Wed.

Thanks,
Alice

I'd be interested in attending. Not picky, but would prefer 2nd or 3rd week in October

I actually have my friend that introduced me to Vanguard back in 2004 coming to visit me in NYC this weekend! He's an ex-pat that is now retired in Costa Rica. He will be here for 3 weekends. Would love to attend with him.

At what time are these meetings usually?

We could do Saturdays before 3pm or sundays in the next 3 weekends. Hopefully it fits.

Hi, I live in NYC, although never having a regular schedule. I frequently travel throughout the country. But Yes, as a new investor now earning a good salary. I am definitely interested in a local meeting. Thanks for taking the initiative to create a NYC group..

The location is TBD. Our usual location is the Sony Atrium at 550 Madison Ave, but I think it'll be cold... Let me know if you have any suggested locations. I'd like to keep it in Midtown.

Thanks!

The next meetup will be next Saturday, Jan 13 at 2:30pm at a new location - the Signature Theatre cafe seating area. The address is 480 West 42nd Street. After you enter the building through the glass doors, go up the staircase to the cafe area. This area is open to the public and there is plenty of seating. I scouted it out today and it was pretty empty.

Hope to see you there!

Yes. There isn't a set agenda but we often talk about investing and personal finance, as you'd expect. People are free to bring up any questions they have for the group as well.

The next meeting will be in March (we meet on a bimonthly basis).
