Wow . We gained one member who figured out a way to " BUY " the district 
championship with his membership dues . So what ?  How about the member who has 
been paying his dues for years and gets shafted out of the championship ?  Guess 
what ? There is a greater chance that the shafted member won't return next 
year and he will probably be able to convence at least one of his pattern 
buddies not to either . Do the math then , and you see minus numbers in the so 
called  " same pot " .

Sorry . But I will take my chances running off the prospective member , who 
probably would not have joined if he would not have won the championship , as 
opposed to running off members who have been supporting the organization . 

 " Has competition put blinders on us ? "   No !  But for  $30.00 , money 
sure has !
