I believe if you set a date and place, they will come. I would also be willing to donate if you want to start an organization. We can help you set up a non-profit club if you need some help.

I posted the above thread but didn't have a good location. I think you guys have solved that problem and if Dan Mauch gives a talk I believe you have a hit.

I also contacted Tom at CandCNC to see...
