<div>That's why we are being proactive now so we can get the CD's dates very soon. I am not going to let this drag on. </div>

<div>All kidding aside, I would really like to have a contest date for next year. Our club requires a membership contest approval vote. We only have three more general meetings this year and I would like to get it approved before new club officers are elected for next year.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:; font-size: 11pt;">Here is another idea. Map out where contestants from this past year live. This will help looking for the "ideal" location for the District Contest and evaluating
where to have contests next year. Also do another poll on what is the average distance people have driven/contest this past year and what is the longest willing to drive. I am willing to do one extra long (more than 6 hours) drive/season.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">This is very important. I talked to a few of you about this at Tri Cities. As always, Gordon stepped up to plate and put together a very user friendly poll to query the group to get an idea of the contest you plan to attend next year. <u></u><u></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">As you are likely aware, the number of participants has dropped off significantly at several contest this year and needs to be addressed. My personal opinion is we just had too many contest this year and spread our small group thin. I have
talked to several of you and I would like to cut the number of contest back to six or so for 2015. The other issue is trying to hold no more than one contest per month. This year, we have had several contest fall within two weeks, which puts a lot of strain
of family life as well as the pocket book. <u></u><u></u></div>
