It used to be
www.cimaonline.us
The website had all that you mentioned, and still never was used. Each member had their own photo gallery with unlimted storage. I bet 12 photos got uploaded. Facebook didn't exist back then, but there is a CIMA Facebook page now. We listed all local stores, but offering ideas, opinions, etc., on stores is a slippery slope. The best thing I ever did when I ran CIMA was keeping the club dead neutral on the stores. There was a CIMA chatroom that gathered at least 3 users in total. Carpooling and any other meeting details were worked out here. I spent a lot of time on the website - essentially for nothing.
I should note at one time CIMA was nearly 200 members and getting 50-75 per meeting was not uncommon.
Oh, and as a former UIUC employee I can confidently say the CITES organization, or lack thereof, was mind-boggling. Their website is/was undoubtedly the most confusing and ill-designed website I've ever had the displeasure of using. Of course this was a number of years ago so hopefully you had nothing to do with that
