..this is all hypothetical because SHBCC doesn't care about growing the race anyways.
Maybe it is just the current officers, and attitudes will change when new people take over.
That is the way it has been in every club we have ever belonged to. Usually, all you can do is work from within to get your own faction of people into officer positions so you can pursue your agenda. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Mary, You are right about that. It's true for most things. I witnessed my town government get completely changed by just such a strategy. It took a lot of patience and diplomacy, but was a real revolution! Matt, You are a true inspiration! I always admired you as a sailor of remarkable skill, but to witness your commitment to the sport in your schedule, and in your giving back as an official at events, the magazine, your work for NHCA... you amaze me! As for Pat, if you don't know he's a Fleet 204 guy. I belong to Fleet 448, but have been known to chant "204!204!204!" because they are perhaps the most successful cat club in the country. If you want advice on growing the sport, or how to run events, listen to Pat.
