Viskous,
Howdy, I happen to run a Pathfinder program at the library where I am employed. I also happen to be a VL for the Chicagoland area, which makes running the program a heck of a lot easier.
My advice to you if you are just getting started would simply be to make it happen! If you are planning on GMing games, use whatever sign-up options you have available to you, target and invite some potential players, and dive right in.
If you want more info about my experience, please feel free to PM.
