[NSRCA-dist8] Soft Mount

[Tim]

Hey Jim and Scott,

Any further thoughts about having a pattern meet in Wenatchee in  
2009 ?    We briefly exchanged e-mails this past fall on this subject  
and you and or Scott (since he is a member of the club) were going to  
talk to the club officials about it.   Since 2009 is just around the  
corner and schedules are going to start being set, maybe we should  
start looking into this some if we want to do it.   I still think it  
is a good idea, because they have a beautiful facility and since it is  
certainly located in Washington, in wouldn't be too long a trip for  
the Oregon guys, the Spokane guys, and possibly even some of the  
Canadian guys.     And I would be willing to do what is needed to  
organize and conduct it.   Just let me know.
