Lamar!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't think most members know how much thanks
we all owe to Lamar. He came to office pledging to spread authority and
give people with initiative the freedom to solve problems and bring solutions
to the board. I appreciated that when I was assigned the district border
issue to work on. Lamar has always promoted transparency and a team
spirit. His efforts to document the job descriptions of all officers,
and our procedures for banking, the KF, Nats, etc. have given us a foundation
to build on. Initially, Lamar envisioned leading a team of idea
champions, but halfway through he had to roll up his sleeves twice (first to
his elbows and then to his shoulders) when he took on the jobs of the
secretary, VP and prez. In my extended conversations with him, we spend
90% of the time talking modeling and even though in some ways people might
think, as hobby suppliers, we are competitors, the truth is I don't feel that
at all. </FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial>After
reviewing the cost of the K-FACTOR and the income of NSRCA at our November
board meeting the NSRCA Board voted to the Membership dues from $30.00
to $40.00 per year. The Advertisers and NSRCA Membership dues have been
carrying the cost of the K-FACTOR over the years. Our Membership dropped and
is now slowly coming back, Advertising has gone down, and the publishing
costs of the K-FACTOR have increased. These are the main reasons behind the
need for a dues increase, and if you will think back, we have not had an
increase in dues for over 8 years.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial>This is my
last Presidents report. I want to thank the Membership, Officers and DVP’s
for their support over the past two years. We have made a lot of progress
together, and some of my goals are still to be completed as I indicated in
<FONT face=Arial>the November K-Factor. Now it is time for the new Officers
to review our past progress and “things left to do”, and set their own goals
to continue to take NSRCA forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I know you will give them the same strong support that you gave to
me. I have ask Derek to start changing thing over because I am setting
here everyday waiting on the doctor to call me to be admitted to the
hospital for two more back surgeries they plan on cutting the nerves
th</FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial>is time. They will do my left leg and left
lower back the first and if they do everything right and I can walk
within two they will go in and do my right side but fear not if I can
not my walk I can still fly from a wheel chair right :-
