since 2002 (the year after I joined). I have never heard a discouraging word towards any of our volunteers. As Doug noted, we are an organization that is run completely through its volunteers. The club shows its appreciation towards those that volunteer after every convention...sometimes with more when times are good, sometimes with less when times are not so good. Hopefully, EVERY person that volunteers knows that the club & all of its members are thankful for their efforts, for without them, we'd pretty much cease to exist & we certainly would not have a convention experience as enjoyable as we currently have.

As a member of the club's Board of Directors but most importantly as a regular member of this club, I'd like to say thanks to all of those who volunteer -- not only at the convention but throughout the year.
