Would anyone happen to know an exact date for either of those?

I guess what I'm looking for is the exact date on which GMLTC started calling
itself GMLTC (i.e., that it became that entity, however informally) and also,
if known, the date on which people in the Twin Cities (those who initially
founded GMLTC) started congregating and saying, "Hey, we should make a thing
of this."
Sounds like the history of GMLTC would make a very interesting book. :-)
