This is great news! I am apart of the Core Team of The Carpentries, as the Deputy Director of Workshops & Meetings and I live in Detroit. I have had it on my to do list to organise a CarpenTEA for the Michigan community. Basically a meetup to discuss all things Carpentries!
Let's take this conversation to the local list <https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/local-lansing> and we can get it started :) Best, Sher!
