ROC's been around long enough that many things are different to
change (accept?). It's like turning an aircraft carrier :-)
Still, if you think something is better, you can't be afraid to put
it on the table. Many times, I wish that people out there "lurking"
on chat would speak up - Robbie did!

No, I didn't mention this explicitly in the announcement, but it
should be understood that any ideas are welcome. The hope is (a
foolish hope??) that a clear consensus will emerge from the group
discussion, and the board will have an easy time figuring out how to
move forward. Remember, in less than a month, the board is going to
vote on SOMETHING, and after that it is going to be too late to
complain. So get busy and let the board know what their opinion
should be! ;-)
Speaking of May ROC-Stock, that seems like a possibly viable idea with
pros and cons. On the pro side, if we decide to host an NSL again in
the future, it is closer to the traditional time NAR aims for. On the
con side, it is farther from the traditional dates of LDRS, should we
decide to host that. It's also before school gets out, FWIW. Anyway,
things to think about and debate. I'm a fan of good weather.
