Rain Dragons - Northwest USA Japanese Sword Club

[Scogg]

I am attempting to start a small club for Japanese sword appreciation in the Pacific Northwestern states. I hope to include Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

To my knowledge, there are no clubs or groups out here that do any in-person meetings or discussions. I would like to change that if I can get enough willing participants.

Looking for input from members who may have started their own clubs - or are members of regional clubs already that may have advice. I understand the Northern California Club is well established, and I would encourage all PNW members to join their membership, for all their awesome resources and especially the Zoom meetings. @Toryu2020. I need to start attending those myself. 

The goal is to create a FREE local regional resource for Japanese sword collectors to network, meet, discuss, and share their swords or collections in person. Oregon/Washington/Idaho are pretty small, and even a yearly meet and greet would be better than nothing. 

Working on creating a private facebook group for the club. I tired this about a year ago, but never followed through. 
Thoughts? Am I wasting my time ?

(I thought 'rain dragons' would be a good name. Considering how much it rains out here )'

I highly recommend reaching out to the members at the Indiana Token Kai.  Great group of people who (relatively) recently started their own group.

Stunning collection there! Ive grown to really like the rain dragon motif. 

 

Thank you @Mark S., I’m going to reach out to them for some advice. Looks like a good group! 
 

I’m thinking I’ll have to look into website creation too.

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Cheers,
