Manx societies in the North America have thrived over the years, but they will only surive if more young members are encouraged to join.
Two Manx-born teenagers have started a Facebook Group to try and do just that.
Mim and Matthew Blower are hoping it will 'hook' third, fourth and fifth generation Manx descendants, who might otherwise let their associations slip.
Mim says most teenagers won't go to meetings of the North American Manx Association with their parents, but the Facebook group 'NAMA Youth' could change all that:
More online services for drivers
Former air traffic controller speaks out about airport issues
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
