Bill, I don't think anyone would be upset that you can't host the site for us anymore. It's been very gracious and generous of you to do so for as long as you have. Besides, with the club having it's own set up now, they should be able to provide us space, just as they have the other chapters.
As an aside, please try not to feel as if you are torn. That's not required, you can have as your friends whomever you wish. You still should come to Chicago though, cause we're fun.
Oops, one more thing regarding the meets though - we can, and have had midwest meets all over the place, it just takes someone to organize them and set them up.
