Jaque,
I was just talking to Genevieve on the way home about trying to find out
the same thing (not just for Lindenwood, but for all three groups). If I
can get membership by ZIP code numbers, I'll plug em into the map the
same way I did boundaries, and we can analyze where the members really
are concentrated.
I am going to see our various seneschals (local, region, and kingdom)
this weekend at Round Table, and I will get the ball rolling to try to
gather that data.
