I was fortunate enough attend the morning session and the luncheon for the board in Beaumont. With the interaction that I saw, I would like to say that our club is in good hands. I do not have every detail, but one of the items at the top of the list is to get the board-o-gram out the week after the meeting. There were several new committees announced and the chairs of all the committes were also announced. The site tour went very well and the Ford center continues to be a beautiful facility. It looks like it is possible for the entire event including herding to be held on site. The host hotel is being re-worked and should be like new by the time of our show with very nice rooms, pool, hot tub and high speed internet. Rather than misquote anything, I will wait for the board-o-gram next week. Gail was in good spirits and we all understand her predicament. I would suggest that all of you get to every board meeting you can. These are hard working people with the good of the club at heart. BTW The new schedule gives us a 4 day national starting on Wednesday and ending on Saturday---Way to go Nancy.
