I met a few of you at Drupalcon DC, so I know there are some of us out there. Post a link to your site here, and maybe a few implementation details (Which version of Drupal, themes, modules, etc.)

I'll go first:
North Quabbin Lodge, A.F. & A.M. - Drupal 5. Nothing fancy yet; the theme is based on Barlow and the site is pretty straightforward, using CCK/views/Date/Calendar.

I am in DC, sorry I missed Drupalcon

Goals

I'm the secretary of Clyde Lodge #453, A.F.&A.M in Clyde, North Carolina.
There is precious little software to help the secretary of an individual lodge; MORI suffices at the grand lodge level, and some of its functionality is useful to the local lodge secretary.
In my sordid yet enviable past I was a programmer and DBA.
The local lodge "owns" its members' data. The grand lodge helps this, but it doesn't own the data. It is dependent on the local lodge.
Goals:
Membership database (It would be nice to have it auto-update MORI)
Financial transactions
Show and tell for lodge activities
... and that's just a start! :-)
I don't make "pretty" sites, that is best left to a web designer. I do the "heavy lifting," putting a database behind the site, PHP coding.

I'm also familiar with (read: joiner) the Knights of Pythias. The software should be able to handle other fraternities, too. For example, United States Masonry has no national (or international) "Supreme" lodge, KoP does. Masonic software would (probably) not have Supreme Lodge capability. The software should have it, just not use it for Freemasonry. It needs to accommodate different jurisdictions. For example, the Northern and Southern Jurisdictions of the Scottish Rite have different degree names, ..., all of this should be in a (normalized) database.

I'm new to Drupal, so there's a learning curve. Any assistance/direction would be most appreciated!

I know this post is a bit old, but I'm considering (95%) sure I'm going to develop my lodge's website using Drupal. I was thinking about WP, however I feel that I can make more informative individual pages with Drupal.
