Save the date: NENMA Northern New England Meetup booked for Oct. 22

Come one, come all, to the third layer of our 3-layer meetup cake that is the 2009 NENMA meetup series -- this time with a return visit in Manchester, NH, on Oct. 22 at 5:30 p.m.

Our turnout for the NENMA Middle New England Meetup was rich in board members, but sparse in regular members and guests. Returning to a place where we previously had a richer mix of minglers was clearly in order. So mark the the evening of Oct. 22 as "Out of Office" in your Microsoft Outlook now, and join us at Margarita's for appetizers, cash bar, conversation and a bowl full of laughs.

We've said it before, and we really mean it: Whether you're deeply mired in paid content debates, four-legged sales calls, local search, multimedia convergence, Twitter training, or something so new that we don't even have a buzzword for it yet, please join us. And by all means bring friends, colleagues and anyone who you think can teach us a thing or two about new media. We've always got an eye on the horizon and appreciate the opportunity to meet new people and learn from them.

The details:
What: NENMA Northern New England Meetup
Who: Everyone in the local online news world -- and then some.
When: 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22
Where: Margarita's, 1037 Elm St., Manchester, NH

NESNE hosting meetup in Rhode Island

This meetup thing is catching on! A NESNE note landed in my Inbox last night, promoting an editors' meetup in Rhode Island this Friday.

The New England Society of Newspaper Editors is hosting a social for editors (NESNE member or not) from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, at Cassarino's restaurant, 177 Atwells Avenue on Federal Hill, Providence, R.I.

NESNE is traveling throughout the region to meet and greet the region's editors. (If you'd like to host a social in your area, contact NESNE President Gary Witherspoon.)

For questions and further information, you can contact:
Gary Witherspoon, NESNE president, witherspoon@globe.com, cell: (857) 939-0081.

If you can't make it to that one, watch this space (or Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn) for details on the NENMA Northern New England Meetup on Oct. 22 in Manchester, NH.

Of course, the best thing to do would be to attend both!
