Dan, if that's all you have to offer, that's fantastic and I encourage you to do so. Imagine 10 like you in your region what could happen!

I've learned a lot about coupes just watching the rest of you exchange ideas. If dues were twice what they are, I would still join/pay and think I had my money's worth....but what do I know?

There are a few – very few- people on this list that seem to only be interested in EOC bashing. They say they want to “improve” the club, but are unwilling to work with its leadership. AJ DeMarzo has publicly stated that he “will not work with either Skip or Carolyn for love or money” and that is his prerogative, By the same token, I will publicly state that I will not work with AJ DeMarzo in his quest to – in my opinion - harm EOC. I know that he says that is not his intent but if it were not true, I believe, he should be willing to work within the club. He is making a statement which proves to me that he does not have the best interests of EOC as a motive. Supporters of EOC will be willing to provide properly directed suggestions for improvement. Bashing EOC on this list is not the way to cause improvements. Sending your ideas or suggestions to your region director or directly to Skip or Carolyn is proper. . I support EOC and its leadership. I would like to see this topic flooded with similar one line comments from EOC members who agree. Only then will the few know how the majority feel. By remaining silent you are helping fuel the flames.

I'd like to see things improve. And NO, at this time I will not work with either Skip and Carolyn for love or money, nor will I discourage anyone from performing this service. It's like owning a polished airplane. Everyone needs to do it - - - - once! I know my statements make no sense but you have to look at them hard! (Go over the numbers a bit more.)

Perhaps they have posted an input and received a caustic critical unwarranted response. That has occurred in the past and some are turned off by such responses and don't post again. That is only a supposition of course. There seems to be quite a bit of negative comments relative to the EOC operation and some positive suggestions to improve it. Will those criticizing the current operation step up and volunteer their time to coordinate the positive suggestions through Skip and Carolyn and then work with them to implement them? Wayne, I offer a constructive suggestion, when you post someone's comment, post all of it and not just part. Lee
