Hmmmm. I don't think that's a tough one, but I'm not in your situation, either. (Well, actually I think I could be in your exact situation. The new just-forming Chicago Urban Farmgirls chapter will likely be an hour+ east of me.)
On the one hand, I see how you feel that you would *want* to be close to the chapter in order to participate face-to-face with the other chapter members. It is certainly easier to feel a part of the group when you can visualize it: put the names and the faces and the Usernames all together, right?!
On the other hand, I don't see that you would necessarily have to attend *every* get together in order to be (and feel!) part of the group. What about every third month attend a meeting? With the world so connected nowadays, many of the chapters have projects that take place in the "vitual" world and/or via snail-mail.
I'd be interested in hearing from others about this, too. I don't think that distance need dictate membership. Well, within reason, that is...I'm outside of Chicago, so I certainly won't be joining any Farmgirl chapters in Florida, will I? (though on a crummy day like today, it is tempting!  )
