Folks


1. I appreciate all the inputs that my several rants have had this week. I won't, but it seems I should get pissed more often!!

2. I wonder if the Directors who monitor this list are listening. More importantly, are they taking notes??  And if indeed they are, will they discuss some of the outstanding ideas that our members have put forth??  Our directors haven't offered much feedback to our recent discussions..I certainly am not surprised by this.

3. Is the club communicating well to the members??  Much of  the talk on the Kiosk/Canopy came out as folks didn't know  about it, and didn't know they could use it.  A former director comes on and says it has been mentioned often, (and it may have Rob, but I personally don't remember myself, no shot at you personally of course)  which is seconded by Madame Presidente.  Outstanding!!! We have consensus!!   But it appears that those mentions went un-noticed by many more people than those who noticed!!  This belies the question,  is the Board communicating effectively, or does the membership not interpret what has been communicated?? Now THERE's something for the Board to ponder

4.  I think that for the time being, an awful lot of opinions were put out. on membership, on asset management, on alternatives to membership, for ways to raise revenue with the current membership of chapters, means to promote recruitment on non club sanctioned events.  To those who gave their opinions, remember that you did.

 Obviously many of the directors, and our President monitor this forum.  Wait for feedback between now and the election. If a sitting director who is running for re-election doesn't contact you, or we don't see anything in our forum letting us know that our voices were heard, IMO, Vote Accordingly!!! Perhaps the new candidates will be more receptive, and/or more willing to offer feedback. 

Now I am sure our sitting directors are wishing to God that I would shut up.  So I will. The ball was placed squarely, BY YOU ALL, in THEIR  laps....Let's see what, if anything, they do with it.  

Going to lurk for awhile, before a Board "contract"  is put out on me. <G>

Hank
