meet about 3 times a mo. and have already met 6 times - women bring any kind of work they want to (krupuk making, shrimp net making were examples she gave), and meet at someone's house for about 2 hr. - when I asked what she hoped to get out at joining the klompok she said she hoped they would all get more clever or skilled ("lebich pandai") -  - when I asked what they did at the meetings she said Pak Didi (the PPA extension man) talked to them ("ngobrol")and once the head of the rukun nelayan ((?)) talked to them Ibu Kasmi has owned a warung foi 2 mo. and and her husband is a juragan (Mark talked at length with her husband) - before owning the warung she made a kind of cake (kue mangkok) and sold it around the village or area (keliling)
