MLMAS ran a launch announcement on local Patch communities and established a group on meetup : https://www.meetup.com/main-line-music-appreciation-society-mlmas.  Please let me know if there are other local online sites that may help drive membership.  We plan to reach out to local music-related businesses in the coming weeks to help us connect with those in the community who will be enthusiastic and engaged MLMAS members.  Ultimately, I would like those who learn about MLMAS via Patch, meetup, other sites, local businesses, or word of mouth to join via this official website. This will provide members with direct access to the MLMAS discussion forum on Discord - where all of the music conversation will occur when not meeting in-person.  If you would prefer not to join the discussion forum, then you can join the MLMAS e-mail distribution to be apprised of upcoming events.  Please spread the word to family and friends.
