Removed the duplicate in Personals, 'cause, well, it's not a personal.
I wish you good fortune in arranging this. There ARE many in your area, and down below in Washington. With any luck, they'll come out to socialize. Maybe getting a munch together, first, will allow you to meet several of them, and organize a core group. I suggest this.
If you don't know specifics on what's works for other hosts, do check out my website, and feel free to mail me. I've hosted many events, and helped others to get theirs going. Would be great to see Canada get events live!
