[New-imc] USA recent new imc's summary

[Jay]

Hi Andy, new-imc,

Just got back from a jaunt abroad, so I can check through my records 
now.  As I can figure, I'm the contact for Kansas City (from whom I haven't 
heard recently), I was the contact for Santa Barbara (which passed through 
the process and seems to be working on its web site), and I've been in 
touch recently with the Central VA IMC (which just sent me a draft of their 
responses to the membership criteria, so we'll be hearing from them 
soon).  I was the initial contact for most of the others on the list but 
since then I think other people have taken up the charge for them.

Thanks for doing this summary, Andy!  It's really great.

Jay
