John has put more time and energy into that council than anyone in many recent years. I applaud the efforts, the programs, and the legacy JW has built within. He deserves a break.

Now, it's time for someone to pick up the torch. And there are a lot of areas that are lacking representation. You can make a difference on this council. If you see a need for it, you can affect change (quite easily) or have a great positive impact on the things that are already in motion. Please think about it.

Over my limited time involved with the politics of cat sailing I have witnessed a feeling that we need to organize from the outside to have our way. NOT TRUE. All we need to do is participate on the wide open inside. The car is running, who's in?
