Thank You Chris Detter

Wow Chris,

Glad you let us know what’s happening…


My first reaction is sounds like your busy. I would love to have and assignment and would be willing to help.

??? Why did Daryl resign?


My reaction to that president advisory thing would be…. don’t. I could be wrong about this and I realize you know best. Old dogs don’t learn new tricks. They say they can but I don’t believe these dogs could. I would believe that two heads are better than one. In this circumstance I could see that this would be a good thing.

Please form a committee to make all volunteers accountable!!!!!!(Project would get done and those volunteering would produce.)


Chris your doing a wonderful job and I know you work hard.
 
Ron,

Hey Thanks Buddy,

But it's not just me, We now have a board that is kicking butt.

Everybody on the board is busy and I think they just make me look good.

Daryl's Business has apparantly become a more-than-full-time thing. He didn't want to but had too, he felt he couldn't give enough time to the organization. He will be missed, he has done more for the PWNA than anyone would ever believe....

Daryl will still stay envolved the best he can...

The volunteer thing about accountability, You Bet, We keep each other accountable now.

About helping out on Pete's committee, He would love it, Please give Pete a call or e-mail

The presidents advisory board thing was simply a way to hear from them maybe once a year. possibly explain where the organization is a what were working on, maybe they could offer a thought or two.

Thank you Ron....your a great support.
 
Chris you mention in #16 a dues discount program for long term members, that is great but most stay for 2 to 3 years then drop out.

How about a discount program to intice old members to rejoin?

Another great comunications, to members and NON-members
 
The PWNA has not shut down to NON-MEMBERS.....the bbs is undergoing some changes in how it relates to non-members post. The organization itself makes itself available to anyone who wants to join or get information. That open invitation has never changed.

I understand that there are many folks out there that have problems with the PWNA, however, you have many posters here and on other boards who may not like being frowned upon for making a business decision to join. The general population in the country may not know or care about the PWNA, however, if having that logo and membership for my business does nothing more that give the perception that we have something that another contractor in our little town doesn't and we get the work.....it's doing the job that we bought it for.

If I am a little hypersensitive, I apologize - with everything that is being said all over, I may be seeing digs where they were not intended.

ok - sorry, Ron....like I said, tad bit on the touchy side past couple of days - bygones?

John,

No we won't be going.....it's just too much money at this point that we should be putting elsewhere. Hate missing coming face to face with everyone though :) Maybe someday.
