Invitation: Prepare to spread the word! Write an invitation. This can be a flier or traditional invitation card. Email’s  wonderful tool if there are fans you already know.

•IWOC members: Write the Club administrator and get addresses and mailing labels for people in your area.

•Stamps: Judy Garland or other special stamps are often available by special order through your local post office.

•If you’d like to appeal to Oz fans who might not be members of the IWOC, find out if fliers can be posted in libraries, bookstores, antique malls, campus bulletin boards or other places where you suspect like-minded Oz fans might be found.

Place: If you aren’t planning on using your own home as a meeting place, check local libraries and community centers for a room you could use. When looking at public facilities make a note of available parking. And ask what the guidelines are for serving food. Audio visual equipment is not always available, or might come only usage fees; be sure to ask if you’re thinking about including any kind of presentation.
