As an ACM member for over two years now, it wasn't until a month
or so ago that I found a New York City ACM meeting (oddly enough,
through an advertisement in the NY Times Classified section!).

Maybe I'm just naive (;->) but I kinda assumed that if such a
group existed, they'd have sent me a notice, considering that
the international group obviously has me listed as a New Yawker.

Don't the local and central groups share mailing lists?  Gee whiz!

(BTW, I still haven't been sent a renewal form, if such a thing
exists, by the NYC group.  Guess I'd better call them.)

It's sort of a quiet relationship. Local chapters can get *one* free set of
mailing labels for ACM members in their zip code range per year -- other than
that, they're on their own. Often, we try and recruit new members, but many
don't response -- and many that do belong don't come to meetings.

If you are interested in other local ACM members, contact HQ and find out if
there is a chapter in your area. Contact a chapter officer. Go to a meeting.
Be active. Make the chapter what *you* want it to be!
