Any meetings of our group on the horizon? Either RL or virtual/online?

Yes. You might even try working with them to organize a shared regional event, if their bid for Wikimania itself doesn't work out. They clearly have a lot of energy for bringing people and speakers together around Wikimedia topics.
Like I said in my more formal letter, you must not look upon the

of the provisional recognition as a blow or as a failure -- it was
merely a
deadline expiring, for a formal process that doesn't actually matter as
much
as it used to, because we now have these new affiliation models, which
would
have been more suitable in the first place, had they existed at the
time.
Yes. And once you have some projects underway, if they start to grow, you may always reapply to become a Chapter.
