I like the suggestion about meeting somewhere - a restaurant or nice (quiet) bar - for dinner and/or drinks to get to know one another and talk about the feasibilty of organizing a formal club or semi-formal group. I live in Columbia, but work in Montgomery Co., so I'm not far from D.C. or the N. Va areas for something after work. I could do a Saturday, too. Need to determine which location would be most convenient to do the ice breaker. Maybe shoot for something in 2-3 weeks? JS
