Tom: do we have a map, or easily create one that shows were everyone is based. It may be possible to determine a "center of gravity" of membership from those locations. Or maybe we could create a separate map upon which those that really do have an interest in attending in say late September could post their starting locations.

I know this is just my statistician/engineer monkey mind run amok, but if we want a location that is "easy" for everyone this has the potential to help us know where that is.

If you don't know where you are going you can make "progress" by heading in any direction.
