[1969] Group meeting @ the Convention in Tacoma last week?

[Thompson, Ed (MKE x1231)]

As a practical matter, the Group has "passed on," and that is no one's fault -- quite the opposite, Steve, John and others have worked hard to keep it afloat.  I, too, propose donating the entire Treasury to CORSA, how much do we have?

While we tried hard to "soldier on" since Mark Ellis' passing (in 2008?), the '69 Group has never been the same since...

Hey folks, we've asked for people to step up and take over leadership positions and to volunteer for show meetings but there have been no takers. None for the past couple of years. That's the cold, hard reality.
Leadership has floated the idea of formally suspending the interest group and donating the group funds to CORSA and at this point, that may be the most prudent course.
Thoughts?

Mel Herwald tried to get me to take charge of the meeting, but I'm just a member like everyone else, and I have the Air 'Vair meeting to run and am treasurer for the SCG, and that's enough. So bottom line is that everyone just sat around and either stared at the four walls, or chatted with others. Most boring non-meeting I've ever been at.
