There has been a fairly reoccurring meet up in Gilbert and there was a West Valley meet up last month. There are quite a few members from the Phoenix area so feel free to jump in and interact. You may also message me with questions if Brien is not around. Hopefully this was helpful information.

If the host creates a Rally Point it should notify members in the area, however I believe there is a limit on the number of notifications a member can send. A staffer/director may be unlimited on the number they can send so if they are involved everyone should get notified.
Since Brien is not on at the moment and I am hanging around I will try to help you. I am also the SW Region Member Rep. There is a Meet up section in the forum (Overland Bound Meetups) that you can keep an eye on for upcoming or future events.
