Eric, there is/was (?) a Chapter called the GreatLakes that had met for sometime. Chris and I drove to a town EAST of Detroit, WEST of Windsor where they met and actually had a nice little chip show. My last communication with them was a while back. We started the CHICAGOLAND/MIDWEST about 2.5 years ago and have been slowly and steadily attracting more people. The Kolendas have been kind enough to open their house to the next meeting. We have no agenda, we have no officers, we have a GREAT time and talk casino memorabilia till we're blue in the face! It is worth the drive. We try and have 3 to 4 meetings a year so the next one will probably be in Ocotber, I have captured your email and will let you know!
