We have a Meet-Up forum which discusses upcoming and proposed meetups, not that every Meet Up necessarily ends up a swing club, mind you.
There was a meetup in Gatlinburg a couple of weeks ago, and people from Michigan did show up. It was a reasonable drive from this part of the Rust Belt.
Maybe your wife would be interested in attending for the sake of meeting people from the Board, which is more the intent of a Board "Meet Up", rather than having to "get her to go for that..."
