Hi Jim,
     I live in Charleston SC and tried to do the same thing i.e. look
it up in the phone book.  NOT   The first place that I was able to
get information was from the local agricural agent and from a friend
in Atlanta that told me to get in touch with the local club and gave
me an old catalogue.  A BIG BIG HELP!! I also bought a few items from
SEARS (not in that side of the business any more) and received another catalogue
from the company supplying them.
 
I think that maybe the list manager should set up a FAQ that would list all the
nationally affiliated bee clubs and a point of contact for each.
That information shouldn't be too hard to obtain and could only help
them to obtain new, interested members.
 
David Hinz asked a similar question earlier so I think it would
be a positive addition without detracting from some of the higher
level discussions carried by the board.
