Jeff's idea is excellent, if there is an individual that would be willing to do that, it makes so much sense. Our regional club purchases the airline tickets for our judges and it has saved us lots of money over the years. I recently heard of one case where the judge waited too late to make flight arrangements and cost the club a lot more money. There might be times when that can not be avoided, but if the judge is hired in plenty of advance time, that is truly just wasting club money, the same for PC Board meetings. They are often times set for 6 months to even a year in advance, so flights should be purchased with enough advance notice to save money. I also thought Molly's idea of the within 5 hour driving distance makes sense, unless a flight can be purchased for less than gas money, which at times could be possible if the ticket is purchased with enough advance notice. Some really good ideas, the scale down of board members over a two year time frame makes sense and is a very fair way to accomplish a necessary change. Chris Chris S.
