Yes, Oliver, you are right.  Contact the UF Alumni Association and they will
help you set up a Start Up meeting.  All she has to do is agree to host the
meeting, find a place that will host the Peoria club where they can watch
games, and the UF Alum Asso will send out invites to Gator grads in the area
and BEHOLD:  a new gator club will emerge.

 

Same for everyone else who reads this.  BTW, the official sites for Gator
Club meetings receive the codes for viewing the UF feeds of athletic events
by satellite.

I'd say the first thing to do is contact the UF Alumni Assn.  They can do a
lot of this kind of stuff for you, including set up a web page and contact
alumni and friends living in Des Moines.

Another thought came to me.  She should set up a website for a local gator
club - facebook, meetup, her own website - whatever.  then go have business
cards printed with her name, email, website URL and Des Moines Gator Club on
it.  Then carry the cards with her at all times to hand out to people that
are interested, whenever she sees someone wearing a gator shirt or hat.  She
can also wear her gator shirt/hat a lot and hand out cards then also.  

 

I think if she contacts the local sports bars first - she might find an
existing gator club.

Facebook might be another angle and also the GNN part of the UF Alumni
Association, which is like a social networking site, I think.  Hey, this is
the way clubs get started.  

   She is my Ex's little sister, and the poor girl has been a Gator fan for
about 20 years or more and had never been to a game.  Two years ago I took
her to FSU game. I thought she was going to pass out when they ran on the
field. She stood up in the middle of the first quarter and spread her arms
and said, "I have met my people" .  

   I love to take people to their first game, it is an experience of a
lifetime.
