How to Start a Group
1. Check your area. Make sure there are no other groups in your area. You should not invade a group by making another where there already is one. It is just not respectful and will cause confusion in your area. You should support the group in your area. To find a group in your area search Facebook and Google by “city name rocks” or “city name state name/abbreviations rocks” or by  “county name rocks” or “county name state name/abbreviations rocks”.  Some groups are named for popular regions like Whidbey Island Rocks and Northeast Ohio Rocks!
2. Name your group your city your state Rocks or your county your state Rocks.  Example: Anytown Ohio Rocks or Any County Ohio Rocks. Your group should be local.  Do not make a state group. 
3. Add your friends and ask them to add their friends.
4. Paint lots of rocks and hide them. People will come!!
5. Please give Northeast Ohio Rocks! credit for being the inspiration to starting your group as we have given Whidbey Island Rocks.
