Hi @Cherie2 and @Ian114,
That's great to see that you want to organise a meetup in your area! You may have already seen this page, but if you click on 'Meet ups' in the top right corner of your screen here you'll see a list of all of the meetups currently arranged. I had a look and I've seen that there is actually one happening in Penticton (which I believe is not too far from Kelowna) on Nov 30th - here's the link with more information and a chance to rsvp!
In terms of arranging your own meetup, the Community Center is a good place to communicate with other hosts in your area. You can send other hosts direct messages by hovering over their profile picture and clicking 'send message' (see below).
You can't, however, exchange email addresses in the discussion boards, as this is a public forum. We remove any email addresses and personal details we see for your own security.
Let me know if you have any questions about this!
Kirstie
