According to Caitlin of Meetup.com, “Less than 10% of all Meetup Groups hit 500 members, so you should be proud.” … Well I can report that I am 
Yesterday our local b2b networking group (http://BusinessInBurlington.net) reached a new milestone in Meetup membership … 500 people.
And this morning (bleary eyed and tired from last night’s event) I got this wonderful email from Meetup.
Here’s the text of the email:
Howdy folks,
Wow! 500 members is a remarkable achievement. Less than 10% of all Meetup Groups hit 500 members, so you should be proud. By showing up and supporting one another, you’ve built something incredibly special together in Burlington.
Have fun, and keep the momentum going! Each contribution, large or small, makes your Meetup more successful.
A super special thank you goes out to James Burchill for getting this fantastic Meetup off the ground!
Cheers to your continued success!
Katie Community Specialist
PS. I also think Caitlin emailed to everyone in the group as well … which is pretty cool too.
