Lee,
Very much echoing others earlier, we're currently working on a proposal for
a Makerspace in our Center and for a Mini Maker Faire here in Shreveport.
 We would LOVE to take part in a COP and any online resources you're able
to provide.  Exciting to see so many people enthused about the same ideas!
