Unfortunately,the bid for the World trails was made and awarded some years ago ,when David Landau had the honor of being the first American to be on the WUSV Board,and I'm sure ,since ,like the Olympics,Bids are taken 8-10 yrs in advance, So I'm sure David was doing something that would be great for us,since it is an honor to have it and is a big money maker,usually. Who could for see both our club and the economy would be in serious financial trouble ?? It is really a shame,and like everyone else, I worry if we will have enough people and money to pull it off, It is also very frustrating for me ,at age 84 ,not to be able to throw myself in to help and get some things done, Ah--If I was only 20 younger,it would be fun, but I know my limitations <G> Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
