I'm the primary guy putting the site together. It will probably cover all of MI. It is just going to take awhile before I have time to find all the information I need. If you know which GPAA/other prospecting groups are still active within MI I would like to know.

I was met with some resistance on their yahoo group page. I think the wording of my original message made them think I was trying to take over their web site or something.

I really just wanted the contact information and meeting information so I could put it in our calendar and link back to their site. Once I have more content put together and they see how the site works I think more local prospecting groups will be willing to participate.

Sounds right, good luck with the new site. The MI folks are somewhat active on treasurenet.com including the GPAA group I think. Try there and thanks for covering all of MI!

I don't mind that you posted it.

The original link is includes the smiley face code in the link. It still gets you to the site, but doesn't take you anywhere specific. Matt if you have time you should fix it. Google doesn't like 404 errors which is how it currently appears.

Looks pretty good. Good info with alot of links for further info. When I have more time I will dig deeper into your site. I originally grew uo in NE South Dakota on the Minn/SD boarder so your site has a lot of interest for me.

State sub sites are active now. They are lacking content, but the framework will probably stay the same.
