Hey Paul, we are dealing with these issues while trying to kick-start Washington LoCo into life again. It was originally registered by the official Contact who lives in Olympia, the capital city. However, most of the active members are in Seattle, a couple of hours away. Now, he's sort of rolled his work with OlyLUG into his LoCo work -- sort of leaving the rest of the state out. We Seattle folks want to regain this state-wide focus, while having local fun in Seattle too. It's a bit of a fine line to walk. Yet I look three hours north, and see the *explosion* in Vancouver BC! So that shows us what is possible, with some enthusiasm and perseverance. I'd like to see activities all over the state, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting events going just in Seattle, which is an hour drive for me. I have the enthusiasm, and just have to show the perseverance, I guess. "Build it, and they will come." On the naming issue - I see it as the Washington LoCo, with a Seattle group the active bit atm. And perhaps the Olympia group too. :-) Valorie -- New! http://genealogy-uki.linkpendium.com/ Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca, LinkedIn, Delicious: valoriez .
