Hey Gang,
Go to www.hs-usa.org
There are a number of State and local groups. You can also check out the Yahoo Health Groups. Some of the Groups are very active, Maryland, Pennsylvania, are really active. Other states are not as active. We have a Colorado Group as well as an informal Denver group that meets every few months.

Peace
