Chuck,

 

Great idea!

 

A couple of suggestions.

 

1.  Send a notice to Carolyn Carden to be included in Coupe Capers.

2.  Think about creating a simple regional newsletter.  I've seen from the
rise and fall of a bunch of state and regional groups, there is nothing that
bonds a group more than even a simple newsletter.  Eighty percent of doing
the newsletter is begging others to send you stuff.

 

We had a vibrant Iowa group for a few years with me doing a monthly
newsletter, getting people to take turns hosting a flyin (just as you are
doing) and people bonding.  Then, I moved out of state, there was no one to
take over the newsletter and they completely lost local group activity.

 

It's always felt strange that the northeast of the country has been kind of
a dark hole in terms of activity.

 

You might also check Coupe Capers to find the regional director for the
Northeastern states and get involved with him/her.

 

Good luck.
