Well... Sandy you have some excellent ideas... But, I can tell you the logistics of this was like moving the military across Iraq... This was particularly had with several changes of committee members... and Dad's illness... impeding me... We don't have any CLOSE locals to help.. Linda was the closest and bless her heart she had major health issues in her family to address... while she was trying to run to Dover and scout for other future sites.... What we really need is LOCALS.... ALL of us on the committee are a great distance from the DC area.... Any DC LOCALS volunteering?????? The idea of it being every other year..was so we would get the turnout we want... the idea of moving it from county to county was good... if we can get the appropriate housing... restaurants..ect... Course if you arent interested in DIckson..then you wouldnt be coming that year...or if it was Stewart you Dicksonites might not come.... What is your take on it??? Lets talk about it.
