Last I heard you'd decided against MegaCon which is a good thing. Based on all that I've heard about the style of gaming there...why spend precious time, money, energy to go and be miserable?
A pair of married gamers whom we both know & respect have decided pretty much not to go to cons to game anymore. Well, they'll have big writing and administration duties in one campaign, so they can't play in it, and they're tired of going to a con and getting a random table of losers to game with and having a lousy time. Their solution? Home play. It's not to say that they'll never game at a con, but it's no longer their focus.
As to the club, much as I enjoyed CARP and am thankful for it, it could be that it's time for it to stand up on its own without you for a bit. I agree that this is not a decision to make when you're depressed. Is it that you're devoted to the club, or are you afraid that you'd not find any gaming opportunities, or friends, without it? If the latter, I think you might find that you get more gaming opportunities (and friends) when you're not so focused on keeping the club afloat just for its own sake.
