It sounds like a plan to me. So much fun to get together and share. One of the best things to encourage newbies is also a way to raise money for outreach, etc. is to have a UFO challenge. Everyone brings a completed UFO, not necessarily quilt related, to show and tell. If you don't bring one, .50 in the kitty. This really inspired me to start finishing things, even very small projects, and raised money for paper, postage, all kinds of expenses.
