here in cebu Philippines, we have meet ups every beginning of the month.. our leaders @steemph.cebu use the funds from there to fund the meetups, and provide small snacks to the members during meet ups.. i think it will be best to create a steemit account and have influential and responsible people run it from your locale.
meanwhile, maybe u can start from a free space, like a park or something. make it short and precise and set goals for the next one which can be bigger. but atleast start from somewhere.. Baby steps @soufianechakrouf
