Mike...it was a thread like this 2 years ago that got me involved...never a member before that, but showed up at the annual meeting and volunteered for the board and its been a great 2 years. One thing to keep in mind, a lot of work and communication can be done now via technology, so if you don't live in the area and feel you can't make it to every meeting, there is still a way to activily participate. I have been proud to serve on the board for 2 years now, and hope to for the years to come.

Cheers
Mike
