Perhaps members could get addresses of friends who want to be invited and I could send invites (assuming you can't use the invite tab directly to do this).
Maybe speak with hosts of satsangs to put out signup lists for the group?
Any ideas? There has to be more than 23 of us in the Midwest.
Growth or Connection? Connection could lead to growth. How about small coffiee groups in different parts of the metro to let people connect informally. Eric or some unifying figure could "host" the gathering, if desired. I don't know what a Satsang is and haven't gotten up the motivation to drive across the cities to meet a bunch of "different" (my fears) people. Once we begin to enjoy our company in small reagional groups, new friends can venture to more centralized gatherings. This coffee meeting may be a one time event or could grow at the preferance of the "locals".
