Hi everybody
I'm very glad to hear that there was a discussion of USEJ at the
recent E-USA convention. I'm very interested in trying to revitalize/
re-activate USEJ, but unfortunately was not organized enough to try to
initiate it myself, especially since I was not involved in the last
period of USEJ's activity (2004? 2005?).
I'm very curious to hear the results of the discussion...
//
Saluton ĉiuj!
Mi geliĉas audi ke oni diskutis USEJ dum la E-USA kongreso. Mi
interesiĝas pri revivigi/reaktivigi USEJ-n, kvankam bedaurinde mi mem
ne sufiĉe bone prenis respondecon por tion iniciati, aparte ĉar mi ne
okupiĝis pri USEJ dum sia lasta aktiva periodo (2004? 2005?).
Mi tre anticipas audi la rezultojn de la diskuto...
Plej samidealane

I took a small number of notes from one of the discussions, and the
themes went as such:
Some small changes: perhaps raise the maximum age to 35 or 30 (as is
TEJO's requirement), and move the USEJ site into E-USA's site (done,
thanks to the wonderful EUSA site admin).
Ideas about meetups: piggy-back onto regular E-USA congresses and
other yearly meetups (like the Auxtuna Renkontigxo de Esperanto in New
York), perhaps organizing our own if we have enough active members.
For our own meetups, we were talking about camping somewhere possibly,
as it would be fun and (most importantly) cheap! However, I personally
cannot say that I would be any help in a camping situation. Heh.
To bring in more youth Esperantists: A concerted effort to contact
local newspapers & etc to put more articles about Esperanto out there
would help very much. For those who live near college campuses, I got
a majority of my totally new members from putting a blurb in some
newsletters that different schools of the university give out. So I
suggest having an intro to Esperanto presentation somewhere
(lighthearted!) and advertising it there, also planting the seed of
how cool it would be to start an Eo club at their college. Luring them
in with the prospects of a trip to the national congress and possible
trips internationally, I can imagine success pretty much anywhere.
Perhaps nearby pockets of existing youth Esperantists could come to
these presentations as proof of how awesome it is. I'm certainly
willing to make a trip if given warning.
Going along with this, some great advice was given at the discussion
as well: during Eo presentations, focus more on the "These are my
sweet-awesome experiences with E-o, here are pictures, look what you
can do with it!" rather than the vision of a world full of Esperanto
speakers (though I'm a bit fond of the image myself).
Much more was discussed though I can't think of it at the moment.
Hopefully other attendees will post what they remember. What are your
comments?

What about a Twitter news feed or Facebook page? That could definitely increase publicity as well.

Good call Adam! I'll get that going shortly. I never would have thought of a twitter account for Usej. I'm still getting used to all the ways that twitter can be used. Awesome. :-D

I don't know what to file USEJ under as a Facebook Page. Go here to
look at the options: http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php. Non-
profit is the closest thing I can guess...

Probably non-profit. It's too bad that there is an option for "Religious Organization" but not for Ideological Organization. What about Communications?

I put it under Communications. *shrug* So we have a USEJ facebook
page, a group at esperantujo.ning.com (a social network for
Esperantists), but no twitter account. As I will shortly say in an
Esperanto-USA blog post, "usej" as an account name was taken. Other
suggestions?

"Light upon light. Suddenly I wasn’t different from my Friend sitting
next to me. There wasn’t a distinction of selves. We were one, a part
of the One. I was so in love with this One, with my Friend sitting
next to me, with Friends a few feet away, playing music and praising
God. Love upon love. It wouldn’t stop, the love so intense that I was
on the verge of tears. “When you know that you know, that you know,
that you know, that you know, that you know, that you know…”I knew.
And she knew, my Friend next to me. We knew, we were, we loved."

Jam farite! Ellen Eddy malkovris, ke en 1999 la Esperanto-USA estraro
jam aprobis, ke USEJ-aneco validas gîs 30 jaroj. Verŝajne ĉiuj EUSA-
anoj ĝis tiu aĝo estas aŭtomate USEJ-anoj. Eble la CO donos al ni
epoŝtadresojn de tiuj membroj, kaj ni povas inviti ilin aliĝi ĉi tie,
en Twitter kaj Facebook, ktp.

Bone, Tim. Eble je iam ni povus altigi ĝin al la aĝo de 35 jaroj. Mi
kredas ke estas sufiĉe multe de homoj inter 30-35 kiuj volus
partopreni. Do, la nuntempa Usona kulturo etendigas la junecon tre
longe.
