NSRCA Formal Announcement

[patterndude at comcast.net]

Here's an opposite perspective.  Remember we only have these optional district 
championships to give ourselves more fun.  These are sponsored by the NSRCA, 
not the AMA and are done partly to promote this organization.  By definition 
they are district championships determined by NSRCA district, not AMA.  We need 
to promote this organization because it is what gives us the connection we have 
beyond our local contest circuit: the KFactor, this list, and Nats, along with 
our common sequences are important to growth.

The concept of paying one's dues is not just talk.  You can play the lottery on 
your own but you don't get paid unless you bought the ticket and contributed to 
the pot.
