Hi Kevin,

A list of current QCWA members in your area is available from Headquarters. 
You need to select the zip codes that serve the area you want to cover to
provide HQ for a member search.  For example, I live in the 65613 zip code, so
I might ask for a member search in the range of 65000 to 66000.  That will
produce a list of members in a wide area around your chapter.  You can select
the search range with more or less zip codes if you determine what would be
best for your area with the assistance of your local Post Office.  You may need
a larger zip code number range if you are near a state line.  One of the clerks
at my local PO showed me a map that had zips on it.  I don't remember the exact
numbering scheme, but I think that the first three numbers (656) is the 
sorting center serving my zip code.  

After you receive the list from HQ, you will have to narrow your list to what
ever mileage range you think is reasonable.  Good luck, let me know if I can
help in some way.
