Hey Greywolf...instead of breaking it down by counties, what if you had Tennessee broken down by regions. This way you can have a few counties in each region, thus cutting back on the number of threads needed. I've been talking to a few people about getting the North Carolina chapter up and running, and that was something we talked about so that it would make it easier for everyone to attend and have a voice at the off-line meetings (regionals hold meetingsa, and their director brings their ideas and concerns to the state meetings, etc.).
