@Brian2036 The title indicates she's a new host or planning on becoming one.
@Mary4639 As this is an international English speaking forum with users from all over the world, as Brian points out, the chances of someone from a specific area in one state in one country seeing this is slim. It would be different if you were wanting to connect with hosts from NYC, or LA, there's tons of them here. Check to see if there might be a Facebook hosting group for your area.
