KWLUG is still going strong: http://kwlug.org  In addition to the main
mailing list for general discussion, there's a mailing list specifically
for "Help" questions. http://kwlug.org/node/56

Interesting, I didn't know about WFTL-LUG http://www.wftl-lug.org/ But
it seems to be dormant, if not dead.  The last post on the blog is from
2011, and the last message on their mailing list is from October 2009
