Hey @Richard_Krueger2,
Welcome to the MongoDB Community Forums! 
Unfortunately, we don’t have any physical user group yet in North Carolina but we also do virtual user group events. You can join these here: Regional Virtual User Groups
Our physical user group events are run and organized by enthusiastic community members like @Sumanta_Mukhopadhyay 
If this is something that you feel you’d like to do, you too can start a user group in your city. You can read more about it here: Start a MongoDB User Group
Regards,
Satyam
