I did FV, so I don't meet the requirements in your post
. However, you might be interested to know that I submitted my survey to Int'l in May, and I was contacted by a chapter in July. By then I had already made some contacts of my own about a Friendly Venture, and I didn't want to let those people down. So I told the woman on the phone about my FV plans. She was really supportive and nice. I'm happy to say that I got to meet her at the area 2003 Founders Day dinner.
