Kind of off topic, but important

[Teddy Lancaster <teddy@runningbear.com>]

Say, fellow riders...you know your elected BOD for AERC must
attend meetings to discuss YOUR wants, needs and concerns.
You know they must pay their OWN way...I mean everything
(air fare, hotels, food) to do a job for all of US!!!  The
Northeast region does not have any regional convention or
even organization...what a shame!!!  We could do so much
good for each other with our own centralized meetings -
awards - clinics, to address concerns, to inform and reward
each other and to provide better education with all the new
people joining AERC every year. And, perhaps we could offset
some of the expenses of YOUR BOD representative!
But, we do not.  This is one of the goals of Hans
Devouassoux, our NEWEST NE director who WILL be in Reno to
represent US, but not without a lot of personal hardship and
sacrifice.  We need to help sponsor his way.  Hans will work
hard for us, those of you who know him have no doubts. He
has found a great price on air fare, but the Hotel is $80.00
per night (minimum 5 nights for his super saver air fare).
It will cost him about $1000 to represent US!  How about we
all each send him a nominal sum to help defray these costs?
Any amount will help and Hans will be eternally grateful
(won't you, Hans?).
