Wikimedia New York City officially serves communities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Local committees and/or new chapters across the Northeast are also anticipated in future.
Stage 3 / committees + meetings + meals + handshakes: New York City
We met on the first floor of an otherwise empty Creese Student Center at Drexel University, between 32nd and 33rd streets on Chestnut at 3pm. Informal dining occured at Mikey's Philadelphia Sports Bar, located directly across 32nd street at approximately 5pm.
I'm actually going to be in town after all so I might be able to make it. If I do go, it will be for the meeting and possibly dinner (depending on my available funds at the time). –Dream out loud (talk) 17:30, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PYLrulz - Well see, depends on what is happening (Update on 5/31): Might happen, since it appears I might have some free time, just depends on if anything else happens over that weekend. Update: No go. Apparently, I have to attend some family gathering that I promised to go to, but thought was next weekend. Sorry guys :(
We discussed Wikipedia Takes Philadelphia at local universities with Nicholas, and at University City High School with 1st LeadingEdge, and set a provisional date of October 4. We also discussed a longer-term project for photography and article-writing at University City High School over the next school year, and much of this discussion will appear in a upcoming Wikivoices podcast.
