Two, technically, but they function as one:

"Followers of Aphrodite" : http://pagan.meetup.com/687/
"Followers of the Olympians" : http://reconst.meetup.com/53/

The second meets 30 minutes after the first starts, in the
same location. While the group would follow something akin
to reconstructionism, it wouldn't be hard Reconstructionist
putting it on the boundary of the Pagan and Reconstructionist
categories, and establishing it that way seemed to be the
best way of dealing with its hard-to-pigeonhole character.

We'll see if people are interested. I hope so, and it's worth
trying, but to be honest, I'm not completely optimistic. People
who've tried to run meetups have often reported problems with
non-participation, memberships that aren't willing to do anything
until "things start moving", not bothering to think about the
fact that the reason why things aren't moving is because
everybody is sitting around waiting for things to start moving.

But, like I said, we'll see.
