Are there any Dean meetups here in the county? The closest ones I could find are in Broward.

2. Nothing in North Dade?

Someone needs to start meetups in the Aventura/Miami Gardens/N Miami Beach area.

3. so start one

meetups are spontaneous. Go to the meetup site and vote for the venue you like. If you don't like any of the venues, nominate one. If enough people vote for it, there will be a meetup there.

It's all very grassroots.
