[Critique Group 1] search for new member

[Tuchyner5 at aol.com]

Hi fellow group 1 writers, 
I’ve got two things to consider. They both involve  replacements for 
Marilyn; though we know there is no one that can really replace  her.  
One issue is commitment time. In my experience, people  are interested in 
joining groups dedicated to things that parallel their  interests, but are 
reluctant to commit to open ended time. So I propose that new  members commit 
to 3 monthly sessions. After that they can elect to continue for  another 3 
session period, etc.  What  usually happens, in that kind of set up is that 
eventually members forget about  renewing commitments and just continue 
until they need to move on.  I’m in contact with a prospective member  now. She 
didn’t want to commit to an on-going group, but when I suggested a 3  
session commitment she wanted to join up.  Please share your thoughts and feelings 
around this issue. 
The second issue involves the same spoken of prospective  member. She 
cannot attend on Wednesdays. Tuesdays are good for her.  Tuesday is when group 2 
meets, but there  are lots of Tuesdays in a month.  If  one of our present 
members does not want to make that change, I’ll continue to  hunt for other 
prospects.   
Which segues into: send me names of people you suggest I  contact. 
Thanks, 
Leonard
