[SBU Board] 2016 Fall Sectional Attendance

[JC Chupack]

I had done up a Google Map earlier this year to get an idea of geographic
locations of our members, because I was curious.  (I can't remember if I
shared it back then or not. I may have taken it to a meeting?) This version
used our roster as of July of 2016, and I pulled out all non-address data
before uploading to Google.  Here's the link, and a screenshot:

<--if you use the link, you can zoom in on any given area and get a good
visual idea of density of members in that area.  Eastside and "central"
Seattle are the densest.  The color coding is by mailing address city, but
obviously, some cities are smaller than others by design (e.g., Mercer
Island), so that's not inherently useful.
