I don't have any answers to these questions.......and the lawsuit is not the issue of the moment. Those that DO care about the Board just slipping Colorado out from under us like nothing mattered except what they want........we need to GET ORGANIZED and put up a campaign to get it right back. There was more complaning over the wooden plaques than there is about losing this great site!! We in the West were even willing to consider it a somewhat "western" National since we could at least get to it............but now they even threw that down the sewer!! We need to get letters and petitions. I can mouthe off.......but I can't change it by myself. Talk to people you know and see if they will help with petitions and letters...... The Board needs to remember we do count!!

Is there any penalties for the BOD not following the vote of the membership? If not why does the parent club bother to pay for a vote? Can they change the things that were voted in place without holding another vote? Have they stepped outside the bounds of their authority? Just curious. Does anyone know what happened to the lawsuit? Has it been dropped or settled? Did our insurance really go down considering all the litigation over the last few years?

Until someone comes up with clear definitions of West, Central and East there will always be conflict on where the national is rotated if it is actually west coast, mid west or east coast. I think coast is the wrong word to use as it implies coastal states. Like I said if you want to say east coast when was the last national on the east "coast" or east period!!!! If we are to continue to rotate in three areas West, Central and East then I suggest a map divided appropriately should be made and nationals should be held rotating in one of those areas each year. However, I would expect that division of this map into West, Central and East will not be easy because of people's perceptions... sigh There was a very clear definition in the survey maps in 04...and there is no coast or midwest zone. East - a line drawn from Cleveland to Perry GA....east of the Appalachians West....west of the Rockies- as straight line with Nevada's eastern state line drawn north to south central...everything in between. And that was the map and rotation East-Central-West-Central that was voted on.
