If you’re interested in starting a chapter of TAGSRWC, all you need to do is choose a name that hasn’t already been picked, and submit it with a list of your founding members to TAGSRWC’s HQ in Nashville (see addresses below). The hardest part is simply finding a name that hasn’t already been chosen. There’s a searchable list of chapter names at www.tagsrwc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once you successfully choose a name that’s all yours and nobody else’s, you’ll receive your Official Chapter Charter, fancily inscribed (and “suitable for framing” by Sherry Hyatt<\/strong>, one of our Compelsion Nuts <\/strong>chapter in East Tennessee.<\/p>\n What you do as a chapter is entirely up to you. Your group can do as much or as little as you like. The idea is simply to have lots of Mayberry fun with whatever you do.<\/p>\n Or if you’re feeling more like a joiner than a starter, you can write to us about how to contact a chapter near you. Our mailing address is TAGSRWC, 9 Music Square South, PMB 146, Nashville TN 37203-3211. Our e-mail address is Goober@i<\/strong>Mayberry.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Or you can join our online “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” <\/strong>chapter. (It’s really quick and easy to do. Info is at tagsrwc.com<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Either way, we hope you can enjoy the fun of being part of a TAGSRWC chapter!<\/p>\n New iMayberry Community<\/strong> Here’s what Allan says about it:<\/p>\n “Mayberry related websites, forums, podcasts, mailing lists, newsletters and more have been on the Internet for more than 20 years.\u00a0 I’m always amazed when folks say they never knew all this stuff about The Andy Griffith Show<\/em> existed.\u00a0 Some knew of a few Mayberry things but didn’t realize the volume of material that is on the Web.<\/p>\n The iMayberry Community<\/strong>‘s goal is to help fans of The Andy Griffith Show<\/em> connect with one another and to share their knowledge and love of Mayberry.<\/p>\n “We’re just beginning this community, but with your help we should see our Mayberry friendships grow and develop relationships that are stronger.<\/p>\n “Community, friends, relationships, family–those are the things that we love about Mayberry and those are the things we want to nurture here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The hope is that the iMayberry Community will complement our other online activities, including our main www.imayberry.com<\/a> page, podcasts, Facebook page, online newsletters (such as The eBullet<\/em>!), weaversdepartmentstore.com<\/a> and chat rooms.\u00a0 Combined with TAGSRWC chapters and the various Mayberry events for all fans (from Mayberry Days to ocean cruises), not to mention enjoying the sites of Mount Airy year-round, the world of Mayberry fun keeps expanding.<\/p>\n And best of all, it’s all rooted in watching the show itself.\u00a0 Whether through DVDs, local stations or TV Land, loving to watch the show continues to be the energy that feeds all the other Mayberry fun and activities that we enjoy.\u00a0\u00a0What a wonderful thing Andy Griffith and his talented team of actors, musicians, writers and crew people created 52 years ago–for us and generations to come!<\/p>\n There’s a lot of info and discussions that you simply won’t find anywhere else, including rare interviews (vintage and new) with cast and crew members of TAGS.
