Pam, I do have a problem with the rules and regulations that this club has in place that a one time winner cannot re-enter the contest again with new designs. The problem I have is that no one seems to want to get involved in this, including my wife who has a Masters Degree in Graphic Design as a Commercial Artist and a Art Degree in Education. There are only (5) designs that were submitted out of 650+ members of this club, doesn't that tell you something. You stated that with these rules and regulations that were voted in by the club officers, it was a great idea, only having (5) designs submitted this year, does not seem to come under the heading of a GREAT IDEA!!!

Pam, when Marie and I joined this club, there wasn't the hate and discontent present in this club like there is now. Just look back over the last year or so, as to how many club members sold off their Silver Strike Collections and how many of the older members have left the club or do not get involved any longer. I don't think looking for new officers to fill the upcoming vacant positions is going to help to solve the problems that exist at the present time. This clubs members and it's officers have to learn to work together as a "TEAM" and not as separate entities, and going in their own separate directions. It is going to take quite a while, even with new officers and all of the members working together as a "TEAM" to get things back to the way they should be. I am not trying to change policy, but I am trying to understand why policy is the way it is?
