We’re making a big difference
WOW! In barely 2 years, we have grown from 75ish members pre-EDCO ’21 to, now August 2023, over 7500 members with nearly 7% being outside the US. That is a huge percentage considering less than 2 years ago new members questioned if the group was an Orlando group because of our saturation of Orlando and central Floridian membership at the time.
The best part is that many responses are the same to this day.
“I’m so glad I found this group!”
— New Members
“I’m so glad to have found people my age!”
— New members
“This is the only group I follow on Facebook!”
— Established Members
Currently, we approve 50 or more new members each week. The group’s natural growth has sustained that number for quite a few months now.
As leadership, we are constantly astonished at what we’ve accomplished so far. When this all began, who would have ever thought it would grow like this? We knew it was “possible” but didn’t know it would really do all of this.
Our membership is extremely diverse too. Of course we have many members who Raved in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. But, we also have a huge number of members who only recently discovered our music and our scene. Plus, we have some huge names in the industry as members. I hope that, one day, we have many of the legends of our beloved Rave scene as members.
