David,
You can refer some new beekeepers to me anytime.  Like you , I get calls from new  people interested in becoming owners/keepers of bees.  We can do a great service for them by directing  them to local chapters and points of contacts in those chapters.  It takes little time to give these directions to people and by giving  this personal touch, we become ambassadors for our craft.
  
Thank you for putting out the memo.

Dear OCBA,
I have received several calls from people interested in becoming beekeepers 
and have talked extensively with them about getting started.  I have written 
down the general information that I am telling them and will be asking Becky 
to post it to our website so that people can refer to it.

But...it is be best to include the personal touch.  I spoke to one man from 
eastern NC and we had a wonderful conversation.  Unfortunately, the 3.5 hour 
drive would be too much for him and I refered him to the state site to find 
an organization closer to him.  I would like to know if you would like to be 
a mentor.  Someone who enjoys talking with the new beekeepers and helping to 
get them on the right track.  This fellow that I talked to was fascinated by 
my beginning beekeeping experiences.  It is the beginning stuff that he was 
most interested in.  I have another person who is going to call me this 
afternoon to talk about how to get started.

There is definately interest in beekeeping in Orange and Durham counties.  
Please let me know if you would be willing to be a mentor and I will put you 
on a referal list.  If you are a woman and are primarily interested in 
mentoring other women, please let me know that also.

Spring is ALLLLLLLLLmost here!
David
