Re: Salt Lake City Bogleheads
I'm not in charge (and actually I'm not sure who is), but that's not the location in the email being circulated for the group. I don't know if I'm even allowed to post the location on the internet, but it's at a private business in South Jordan. If your friends are interested have them email me at editor (at) whitecoatinvestor before 8am tomorrow and I'll make sure they have the location and my cell.InMyDreams wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:18 pm Here?

I think the list of potential topics I threw out on the email included these:
student loan management
Backdoor Roth IRAs
HSAs
Nuts and bolts of portfolio management
various ways to add real estate to a portfolio
I think the idea is to lead a discussion, not necessarily give a lecture, but I've either spoken or written recently on all of these topics and can do them "off the couch" so to speak.

Re: Salt Lake City Bogleheads
I attended the first meeting, where the alternative location was discussed - but are we sure it will be available? I sent an email to the one listed in this thread last night or this morning, and no response.White Coat Investor wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 5:07 pm

859 W. South Jordan Parkway
South Jordan UT 84095
This can be a little hard to find. It's on the south side of the road, and the entrance is on the side facing away from the road. If it turns out we don't have access to the building, we can repair to the Kneaders at 962 West (which is on the north side of the road). In that case (or even if not) I'll be the guy with a brace on his wrist.

Hello, I'm new here. Is there still a Salt Lake chapter? I would like to attend a meeting if they are still happening.
Re: Salt Lake City Bogleheads
Does anyone want to try a zoom or teams meeting???
I think I have an old list in my personal email with some older members. If you are a newer member, could you send me your contact info? Either PM me or put it on here.
Let's see if we can revive this group!

If someone wants to step up and volunteer to be the new Local Chapter Coordinator (assuming the previous Coordinator is no longer active), PM me with your first name and an email address that you'd use for this purpose and I'll get your new contact info listed on the Local Chapters Map so that others can contact you. And you and your group could continue to use this forum to do planning and make announcements.

Re: Salt Lake City Bogleheads
We have a Boglehead who has agreed to become the Local Chapter Coordinator, but he has requested a name change to Wasatch Front Bogleheads. Should the name be changed from Salt Lake City Bogleheads or should the Wasatch Front Bogleheads become a new chapter?
Let me hear from all of those involved.

Re: Salt Lake City Bogleheads
In your opinion, does it make sense to change the Local Chapter name from Salt Lake City Bogleheads or does it make sense to leave that Local Chapter name alone and establish a new Wasatch Front Bogleheads Local Chapter?matt27 wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 9:20 pmI think Wasatch Front Bogleheads makes sense.Mel Lindauer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:54 pm We have a Boglehead who has agreed to become the Local Chapter Coordinator, but he has requested a name change to Wasatch Front Bogleheads.

Thanks Mel!
All,
I am looking forward to establishing a more local conversation here on this message board and finding an opportunity to get together in person. I am located in Utah County and saw from some posts above that others are located mostly South of Salt Lake. Could you respond to this post with (1) your physical location, (2) how often would you like to have an in-person gathering, and (3) what ideas for formats and topics for gatherings do you have?
By the way, my name is Andy, Fran K is just my handle on here. Feel free to email me at SLCbogleheads@gmail.com with your email address if you would like. We can use that email list as a secondary way to get information out.

I'm still here in Salt Lake. I think this, like most get togethers, just got put on a backburner due to the pandemic.
In the SL Valley and probably willing to host people one night at some point. I've been to enough Bogleheads get-togethers to know it's pretty harmless to get together with you all.

Re: Salt Lake City (or Wasatch Front) Bogleheads? Or Both?
Located in SLC. Personally I think we could try to meet monthly or every other month.
Perhaps a few other topics. I’m definitely not an expert.
Cash management strategies
- checking, savings, credit card for efficiency vs maximizing benefits
Insurance
- wide range of topics
Estate planning
Expenses (successes and failures + strategies) - large and small
