I think having a single thread with someone who can reliably update it is the best soltution.

It's not just about announcement of events...there are oftentimes we have ongoing discussions of events (who's coming, who's bringing what, how to get there, etc.). It really gets messy when we start talking about more than one event. That is what separate threads are for.
Skooter's right. If we created a thread for each event, and every other group creates a thread for each of their events, it wouldn't be very organized. Maybe the easiest solution would be my #2 above...create sub-forums under our regional forum for any group that asks. However, that seems to be what social groups are meant for. They just are lacking the same functionality as the forums.
