297	California,&nbsp;and Provincetown, Massachusetts which is located&nbsp;on the tip of 
298	Cape Cod. Route 6 is the longest highway ever established in the United 
299	States and even today it remains the longest continuous highway in the 
300	nation.</div>

311	We are currently in the process of creating 14 state divisions of the 
312	National Association. It definitely will be easier to coordinate programs 
313	and activities with 14 states than with over 600&nbsp;cities and towns. Besides, 
314	each state has their own special interests and needs that can&nbsp;best 
315	be&nbsp;addressed at the local level.</div>
