Good question to raise in the Eastern USA subforum.
You need several things:
1. Find a Manager (and creator) for your LEAF/EV Gatherings thread.
2. Have the Manager create a "New Jersey LEAF/EV Gatherings"
(or similar) thread in the Eastern USA subforum. Only the creator
of the thread can change the thread's title, by editing the first post.
3. Find a suitable location, with sufficient parking, flexible seating,
and some other attraction. I find that food works, something like
Hometown Buffet, or similar. Consider Range and Charging issues.
I generally go test the location, the food, facilities, cleanliness, etc.
and get an OK from the location's management before suggesting
the location for a Gathering. Good PR is important.
4. Choose a date and time that seems reasonable. I use 8 AM,
meeting until about 11 or so, and Saturday morning, when people
often do not have other things scheduled. Avoid holiday weekends.
5. Keep the thread up to date, and consider any helpful suggestions.
6. Go to the "Gathering" and see who else shows up. Hint, take a
friend, and at least you have a nice leasurely breakfast with a friend.
7. Do not leave early, you want to allow for folks arriving late.
