Steffi, meetup is one of the places I have looked. I am wondering if maybe it's the exclusionary nature of some of these groups that is hurting them, at least one of the contributing factors along with others mentioned.

Kelly and Helen, you make a great point about societal acceptance creating a reduced need. Hadn't thought about that.

I am also wondering if maybe the experienced CDs just don't have the need to meet up in groups, and just don't anymore, like Tracii mentioned.
