Welcome Ben, actually I'm in Channing;) I used to organize and play games up here as well as traveling downstate for larger games but then I took nearly 10 years off without playing. The last year I've been back involved in the sport and been organizing games again and I've run into a group from Marquette that organizes games in Skandia.
Here is the facebook link for my organization of sorts UP Airsoft:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/upairsoftdickinsoncounty/Here is the link to STFU which is the Marquette group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/165636486823274/There is overlap between the two groups of players, UP airsoft is my place to post upcoming events that I'm holding down on my property but also post when events are coming up in the area that aren't my events. IE I post the events that STFU posts and as we get more players in the surrounding area I plan to post their events as well to try and bring together our player base more and more. So if you know other guys that are playing feel free to send them to UP Airsoft and I'll post everything there.
Now all of that said I of course post here and whatnot as well, I just use facebook to organize games because right now that's what STFU started using years ago and was established, and when I started UP airsoft back up it began with a bunch of players who weren't on MIA and I knew personally via Facebook. So both are a resource but at this point the events are just posted there since MIA as a whole is primarily lower Michigan players who aren't going to drive 10 hours to play a REC game in Skandia or Channing:)
So give me a shout on Facebook about the games, and hang around here for everything else;)
