Ben and I won't be running for any positions this year because we have trouble committing to dates/times.  This is not to say we won't attend any meetings.  It just offers us more flexibilty w/o letting down the BOD.  So, all At-Large positions will be open.

Thanks Marie.

I'd be interested in an At-large position, but I first need to get my membership dues in   Will the schedule for next years Board meetings be developed before the picnic?

My position: 1st - The Madison area needs more courses.  Pursuing the development of courses in neighboring communities and within Madison as well.  2nd - Provide more varied volunteer opportunities to promote disc sports in the community.

Hello All!  I just wanted to throw my disc in the ring for an at large position.  Thats right the guy who caused all the trash discussions on Hiestand.  My big push will be for getting more volunteers and a good method of supplying things needed to keep courses clean.  I would like to start the push for cans on every three holes minimum on hiestand.  As I understand it we have some holes that didn't get taken care of regualrily by volunteers @ elver and I would like to get involved with a campaign to get more people involved.  I have spent every round cleaning on hiestand and got a great reception and have had good luck geting people to help.  I look forward to setting upa good process that works for all to keep trash out of the tress and still keep it off the course as much as possible.
Also thanks to all who have helped me and look forward to workign with you more!
Peace
