    Thumbs up Hey Missourians!

    If you live in the south central/ southeast area near Rolla/Salem then you might be interested in this group...

    http://www.meetup.com/The-Rolla-Frug...-Meetup-Group/

    A woman in my homeschool group just started The Rolla Frugal Living Meetup Group and our first get together is this month in Salem. I am just so excited to have a RL group of frugal people to talk with.

    Let me know if you join and plan to attend (you can pm me if you don't want it on the board). It would be so cool to have some fellow Villagers in the group. 8)

    I'm about an hour and a half away . . . does that put me too far out to be in the group? I'd love to meet some other frugal families; they seem rather non-existent where we live.

    Rolla is about 4 hours from me (I am down in the bootheel). I have bookmarked it to look at when I get home. Thanks!

    I think the group is open to anyone who wants to come, regardless of where you live. I'm only about 1/2 an hour from Rolla but Salem (which is where the first meetup is being held) is about an hour so I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter.

    Wow, that would be a trek for you, it would be great if you could make the trip though.

    I'm a proud Show-Me person, but I think I live kind of far away. But what a great opportunity for those of you who live closer. Here's hoping you have a fantastic time!
    Spiritual:
    "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.

    Financial:
    Debt free, hoping to stay that way!

    It sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I could come but I have a ton of unpacking to do.

    I hope you all let us know how it goes.

    Just a quick update... we got an email on the homeschool loop that the response has been so huge (YAY!) that she is no longer going to be doing it at her house, probably a park in Rolla.
