Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

There will always be the naysayers.
When a few people in our Fleet wanted to do a Nationals on our little lake, we were told that it couldn't be done.
Some members claimed it would be a failure and bankrupt our Fleet.
I assured them we would open a separate bank account and only spend the registration and raffle money from the event.
Well, we had a very successful H17 Nationals in 1994 and then again in 97 combining H16 Women and Youth.
Funny how the naysayers had so many ideas on how to spend the money we made from the events.
We ran an Alter Cup from a lawn with a ramp built off of a break wall.(couldn't be done once again)
Footnote: The ramp did get destroyed the day after the event ended.
We were told that there was no way we could fit a H16 Nationals on our lake. The 2004 16 Nationals were also very successful.
None of these events were easy to do,but things can happen if you pull together the right people and just move forward.

If you say it can't be done you will always be right.
