Tonya,
It seems that we're going to be going through this at the same time! I just got some info about starting a JC in the Philadelphia area. I typed Philadelphia PA into the sister search and there were about 200 hits, so I'm hoping that with that many people, there have to be a few that will want to participate. We'll have to compare notes along the way. Good luck to you!
Loyally,
Donielle
