<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' ><tr><td style='font: inherit;'><P> Ron your right. I appreciate the efforts of all the officers and volunteers. I really think that we have the best leadership ever right now. With them in place I believe that we can get to the task of growing the sport. While I have a problem with those who don't support us financially I don't want to do anything to discourage their interest. It's a catch 22. I guess I would just ask more people to join the <SPAN>NSRCA</SPAN> and visit and participate in the lists myriad of information. I've never understood people who use things for free and don't see the need to contribute. </P>
<P> Here in Hoffman Estates we have a beautiful public field and our club pays a lot of money to maintain it yet their are many who use it all the time that refuse to join the club and help pay for the maintenance. Our dues is $30. There's nothing we can do about it but trust me these people are singled out and their lack of responsability is irrating to the ones who do contribute. It's just wrong on so many levels, yet there's nothing we can do about it. I don't find it wrong if someone points it out once in a while.

The way I see it is that,
if everyone contributes a share of his/her expertise, nobody has an
unbearable load to carry. I encourage everyone to look around and do
what they can to make our part of the hobby better.
