If you remember right, I did 20 years as National Futurity Chair with no pay - and that was close to a full time job. It was brought up for discussion. No action was taken and not much was discussed about it because it was at the very end of the meeting. There is a problem when you start paying people when it is basically a volunteer organization. Then we should all be paid. I doubt this will go anywhere with the Board. Tish **************Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.
