I just started hosting this year and wanted to join the group (hosting community) to help me deal with and understand guests in general. By reading the posts, I see that there si still a lot for me to be aware of and I am thankful for this group.
I found many people in Maryland, but did not know I could send them inquiries. It is good you suggest a meet-up, that sounds good. Maybe you can see how many people you can find, then set it up. I would attend 🙂
