We will need regional organizers for each of these areas.  This doesn't mean you have to do it all alone.  We'll work as a team but we need leaders.  The first task will be to find a location for the conference in the targeted area.  That location will need to be

   1.  large enough to accommodate 30 -70 people
   2.  have kitchen facilities for serving lunch, cofffee, snacks
   3.  be easily accessible
   4.  if not FREE be sincerely CHEAP

Let's start getting regional leaders.  We have Sandee for Washington DC.  Sandee already has a location--The Washington Home.  I'm going to appoint Bob as Columbia .  Clare's sister will do Salisbury.  Pat, can you find us a place in Elkton?  Clare and I will do Waldorf.  That only leaves Cumberland and Frederick.  I'll try to contact someone in Cumberland to assist in that area.  Perhaps Otto could do Frederick?  Bob, do you have any contacts in Frederick?
