Regional Groups in Texas
The
TexKos-Messing with Texas with Nothing but Love for Texans group, which formed in Feb. 2011, has 35 members. It helps us to meet one another, though, if folks see a more local group to join and/or to follow:
Houston Area Kossacks is for Kossacks living in the Houston metro area. It will be used to post and repost Houston-related diaries, organize meet-ups, and just keep in touch in general.
ETA: Houston Area Kossacks: Meet-Up Scheduled for Saturday, February 16!
~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~
CenTex Kossacks is a kossack group for Travis County and surrounding areas dedicated to keeping Austin weird, blue and orange.
~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~

Our state isn't done organizing!
shesaid is forming a group for the
CapRock / Amarillo / Lubbock / Panhandle area (group name still being considered).
And Yo Bubba has contacted navajo and will be starting a West Texas Kossacks group (El Paso and Big Bend)!
Please consider stepping up to organize if there isn't a group in your area.
If you want to join a group, kosmail the organizer. And be sure to follow your group by clicking on the ♥ beside the group name so that you'll get group diaries in your stream. (Unfortunately, being a group member won't make that happen.)
Tue Feb 12, 2013 at 3:04 PM PT: papa monzano has ordered our Tex Kos Inaugural Gathering t-shirts, plus a few extra. Price will be $12 each, and we can just pay him at the event.
