Ok here we go again, I got knocked off AOL right before I finished this the first time around.
First of all I thought the Ramada Inn at fairview heights was very nice,and enjoyed my stay there.I have booked there for 2002 the phone number is 1-618-632-7841.It's clean,and parking should be adaquate , last year they were refurbishing the motel consequently the parking lot was pretty well packed.Also if we can eliminate the burnouts in the parking lot I think everyone will feel a bit better about the parking situation.Also paying attention to not putting a door ding in your fellow club memnbers door(staying semi sober helps eliminate this to a degree) will eliminate that fear.If you have to wipe a bit of dew of the L in the morning it won't be a big deal.
Next,gotta be realistic here!!To sponsor two classes in Lightning is about $6000,so that ain't gonna happen,PSP has already been given Pro Lightning,and I am in the final stages of getting a sponsor for Street Lightning,it will be announced tomorrow.Being realistic to sponsor the class requires about 100 new members,and incurring no expenses in the time being.So the NLOC will have a High profile at WFC5 but not a costly fee of sponsoring the class at least for this year,maybe we can do both next year.We have to disburse funds throughout the club membership to fund some sponsorship at regional events for 2002 and not shoot the whole wad at WFC5.I love it,it's a great event but we have to be real here.i have spoken with Jeff about this and he agrees this year we could use a bit of help.so that's where were at on that item.
I will need volunteers for working the NLOC booth at WFC5.Signing up new members and selling NLOC mdse.
The board will reflect the changes and events as they occurr,we've been keeping Jeff pretty busy catering to our wishes,he's working 16 hour days so I'm going to let him rest for a bit and make the changes that he has agreeded to and then go from there.Jeff is maintaing our board and we need to understand this is on an as can basis,and Jeff we appreciate it.....
