Doug - NO ONE really knew much about what I was doing (including me) until it happened.
I specifically kept this as removed from the official club as possible as well. Wasn't sure what the board's stand would be on things like this, so at this point the site is just a place for some of us NW owners to hang out.
But certainly my long term goal was to see this become a part of what you are describing, a regional site of the greater organization. And our NW group becoming "The NW chapter of the SVX World Network".
We'll continue this discuss in PM...
