I'm thinking that since we already have the affiliate program, why not set it up with those that are willing to have a sort of "Local Update" section?
Here's the idea:
I'm from Wisconsin, and I want to see some of the stuff that's been going on in the area, so I get the magazine, turn to the section, and find a short write-up or article talking about the scene (maybe the latest hotspot) and what local traceurs/traceuses are doing. Maybe throw in some pictures, and a little "upcoming events" piece and you've got the section. Repeat for each affiliate and you've got a nice little chunk of the mag taken care of.
Hopefully, this can also encourage groups that aren't yet "affiliates" to be like, "Hey, I wanna see MY group in the magazine too!" Well, there's an opportunity for greater national cohesion of the community - something that should never be downplayed.
