[NSRCA-discussion] What the NSRCA does (and could do) for me

[Del K. Rykert]

Derek,

These issues are not new and not to blame on any one group of officers. It 
is the mind set and denial that I have grown tired of. While not being able 
to compete the last 3 years was not by choice and the regional situation has 
only become worse. The changes that are needed are not going to happen until 
things get worse if they ever will be addressed. I have been being patient 
the last 5 years giving the organization a chance at succeeding.
    I thought I recall someone suggesting restricting the list to members 
only.  It is just that kind of counter- productive thinking that the NSRCA 
does not need.  I lost all my E-Mails d/t server/ISP issues, so can't verify 
who said that. But that is contrary to ever fiber in my being for the 
wellness of the organization. Why have more of the good ole boys club 
attitude. I thought that was severely changed and almost eliminated.

                 Del
          nsrca - 473
