Haven't heard the membership screaming about the surface this year at all. Many other things, but not that. So listening to the membership, heck I am one and it was a non issued. We were assured that the surface was great as the board inspected this at the board meeting there. I don't think this has even come up.....until now. Communication opens the best at election times.

Those changes were a result of "listening" to the membership, which is a hopeful sign that the lines of COMMUNICATION are beginning to open up between the Board and Membership. Hopefully this trend will continue. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
