Hey there fellow Mainers! I am Chris, a 24 year old from Westbrook, and I would like to introduce everyone to the newly created Maine vaping Club! This club is very new, but I am excited to see the interest it has created as it has started to grow! The idea is very simple, we are a collection of Vapers or people who support vaping, who live in the state of Maine!
I Originally started the club for the sole purpose of vape meets. I Have never been to one, so I tried to find some in Maine. When I was unable to do so, I decided to take action and get the ball rolling. It started small, with just a post on ECF and then a Facebook page, but as people began to get interested, the Maine vaping Club started to expand! I started this new official thread, and still have the Facebook page as well as a group on ECF. I also have a Maine Vaping Message board that I am fine tweaking and hope to have finished this week, as well as eventual plans for a website and chat room.
What the club was about has also started to change! I am still excited to start holding vape meets, but there are now a few new goals we have as well.
Our Mission
1) To bring vapers who live in Maine together in an effort to share and socialize
2) To create E-Cig awareness and provide information to residents of Maine
3) To constantly strive to increase vapor friendliness within the state of Maine
4) Represent the interests of vapers within the state
I also have a more detailed list to explain the missions and exactly what I plan to do
1) Have vape meets, and providing multiple forms of communication online.
2) Provide factual information via the internet or by print out copies of the facts available at events, and to work with local businesses and organizations to help promote the Maine Vaping Club.
3) To be a positive representation of vapers to the community as a whole. To educate businesses, organizations, and governments along with people with the community as a whole, about the differences between smoking and vaping and to provide them with the facts.
4) This one has mostly to do with protecting our freedom to vape in Maine. I plan to watch the news as well as calls to actions both nationally and within the state, and to do whatever possible to voice our side when legislation, regulations, and bans are proposed. For in state issues, I would like to have a representative of the club present to voice our side in person whenever possible
I know the last three don't sound as much fun as the first, so I would like everyone to know, I will not ask anything of any of you, but if you would like to get more involved, it is more than welcomed! Any small hand is a blessing for me, work and personal obligations don't leave me as much free time as I would like. I also encourage members to share any opinions or suggestions they have, but I do ask to only give criticism is a constructive way.
As I mentioned, I have a lot of goals, but not a lot of manpower as of right now. one of our members Greg, and I are trying to hammer out details on a website and chat room for us to get started on once the Maine Vaping Club Forum is complete, and I would like to thank him for all his help. if anyone has any help they can offer, please contact me.
Two things I would like to ask everyone to do is to help me to increase members and find potential places for vape meets. Please tell everyone you think would be interested about the club as this will help us to grow. Also, please look for and share any current vaping related businesses or vaping friendly businesses in Maine, especially ones that would have the capacity to host a vape meet. if you can't look into an idea yourself, please share any ideas for businesses that would be worth looking into that have the capacity for a meet. If needed, I can possibly provide payment to a business to let us have a vape meet, although it probably wouldn't be much, since money is tight. I would prefer to not have to pay, since it would be my personal money, but I will still look into it just incase.
