Are you talking about OP- COTY voting , or voting for the board?
I assume you mean COTY. . . just want to clarify since your post mentions BOD elections
I was in the running last year for BOD. I asked the same question, as I was asked about my availablility for the meeting. I inquired if they knew something I didn’t and I was told “NOPE… just asking for availalbility is all, to aquire a date when most people were available.” Nobody knows nuthin’ til the end on the BOD voting. I THINK I was told that the tallying is done by an outside source.
Please… someone correct me if I am wrong though.
Understandable on the decision, something to revisit in the future, since I am sure this won’t be a one time occurance. So….I’ll sit quietly in the same corner with ya Jeremy. LOL
Sorry to see you go FlushingGrouse, but best wishes and see you at events. Thanks for the time you have put in on the board!!
As per Jeremy’s idea…I have to agree. Offer the 1 yr position to the #1 ranking and let it flow downline. It would be a little weird for the #6 position to just have that thrown at them.
Way to go k0rpl!! You’ll be passing me by in no time!!
Congrats!!
Welcome to the “First 100 club” Congrats and here is to many more!
Happy First 100!! Way to go…..the rest will be easy!! Well….maybe not!!
Congrats!!

Note: For example, if 100 plates are sold in the first year, the group will be refunded $1,500; if 500 plates are sold in the first year, the group will be refunded $7,500; and if 800 plates are sold in the first year, the group will be refunded the entire $12,000.
As per GrouseTales earlier posting…. we don’t HAVE to sell 800, but if we did we’d get back the $12,000. Can’t always look at the BIG picure, but take in in smaller bits.
What I have seen:
* More longer hikes up North and in country areas west of Milwaukee with larger cache containers.
* In Milwaukee areas I see more mircos (35 mm) and rock hides.
* Appleton and surround areas, we have the famous WCC series of micros.
* In general, up in the N.E.W. area we do have some very creative hides and containers.Kind of a mix all around I guess. I can speak for myself and caching buddies, we like to hide in a unique manner with different types of containers. so I guess it depends on WHO the hider is as well as the area. I try to stay in Manitowoc Co, but also have some in Marinette Co., since we have a cabin up yonder.

I was all for this…until I saw the cost…I don’t think this is something the WGA should pursue.
It’s true.. it is costly but if we have the desire for them and maybe somehow pre-order, then the refund is a given. I wouldn’t toss the idea out just yet!.

And I wonder if he’d do that on a day like today??!!

Education and Promotion go hand in hand.
We need to have term “Geocaching” seen as a positive. We are fortunate enough to have a number of positive stories in the news (in larger cities, such as Milwaukee) and on Public TV. It is unfortunate that many do not watch Public TV, therefore end up learning about Caching via a negative story, such as the suspected Bomb or the dreaded Appleton Alderman story. The more education we can get out there for that general public as well as education for the beginner cacher, the more growth and Promotion of the sport/hobby we should see as well as a growth in the WGA.
I would invite and encourage all cachers and Non-cachers to come visit ther WGA website, to learn more about Geocaching and the WGA itself. Just another reason we all need to remember to speak freely but fairly in the forums. Negative comments may be seen by Non-caching eyes.
{An added note: I want to say that it has been pretty exceptional in the forums for some time. It’s nice to see that we can all have indepth discussions like adults. I want to thank everyone for your efforts! It makes it a very pleasent place to visit} 🙂
Opps.. almost forgot about how I learned about Geocaching. Well… back in 2004, I had picked up a copy of “Wisconsin Trails” magazine and there was a small article about the sport. Can’t remember.. was that GrouseTales, FlushingGrouse or Buy_the_tie in that story?! Guess it doesn’t matter… `cause I got hooked!!! I remember after reading it I called up my caching buddy, Digital Dan, and asked “Hey… what do ya think?? Does it sound like something of interest?” Next thing you know, we both bought GPSrs and the race began. LOL
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Renee. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I may be a distance, but always will to lend a hand and make the drive if needed.
With Deepest Sympathy….

Ok… so after I finish this newsletter in Publisher… how do I get it saved as an adobe file? ❓ I know… why is an ex-programmer asking silly questions like this… because I programmed and didn’t use silly things like Publisher. 😳
That I don’t know but please share when you get the answer!
