Hi Anne, I totally agree. With the recent loss of
one squadron <br>
and the fragility of others. Competing is not a high priority. The ones <br>
that are giving all the classes and seminars and are increasing or <br>
retaining members know who they are.<br>

Thank you! You have said it. Encourage or lend a helping
hand, keep <br>
the squadrons functioning. Competition is not the key, support, <br>
appreciation and squadrons working together fits better.<br>

Dear Kay,<br>
I have been following the e-mail discussion on the Bowsprit award. I<br>
think it has been interesting but I also think it is enough. Since we<br>
are having trouble keeping squadrons just going and each one has a<br>
special favorite area, I think we should allow this interest to grow.<br>
I don't think this generation of officers is so interested in<br>
competition. The ones that win are always pleased. They are the few<br>
that send in data . This is maybe 3 squadrons out of 22. National
and<br>
District are there to encourage and help not demand. <br>
I believe its time to find ways to encourage every squadron the good,the<br>
bad and the in-between.<br>
