      I’ll be to every event as it is a responsibility of the BOD to be there as our by-laws state but the best laid plans sometimes get upset. Family situations can crop up, work responsibilities rear their heads.

      Last year even though my daughter had a soccer game in Milwaukee, I made the drive to Gov Thompson for the picnic and then took off a little early to go home and load up for the afternoon game at Good Hope Rd.

      Sometimes it isn’t easy to serve 2 “masters” but a Director should so their very best.

            If elected I promise to make a campaign promise that the new BOD member will come to each members house and shovel their walk!

            I’m a giver. 🙂

              Color? The traditionalist in me say red but the day glo yellow/green is quite the eye catcher.

              I think the better question is what should fire trucks be?

                        The candidates are posting like crazy now. I can hardly keep up. Finally figured out the #1 qualification for being the president is…………umm, still working on that.

                        Luckily, those decision fall on the Directors to elect officers. For me, I took it to mean that I was willing to be the main contact for the WGA and spend lots of time working on WGA stuff when I should ‘ve been out caching and do what I could to wrangle all the cats we juggle and get them into one bag.

                        Now, that is just a figure of speech. No cats have been juggled, jostled or cajoled during any official WGA business.

                          I have 211 unsolved puzzle/mystery caches within 30 miles of my house. Hmm….that is a lot!

                          43 for me based on “home”, but 123 if I lived where you do.

                           

                          Sounds like you should move to CJ’s house

                              No craphas here. We are supposed to get an inch later. The children are off for a teacher in-service day. I pretty much had my votes decided after conversing with a few of the candidates over chili. I asked the three I was vacillating about a casual question (they all got the same question) and one convinced me, one made a valid point, and the other failed.

                              Eekkkk…we didn’t talk. Guess you already had formed an opinion of me. 🙂

                                I was hesitant to accept any role as an officer last year but after thinking it out, I am glad I accepted the role of President. I did enjoy term and I hope I did an above average job in the position.

                                I think the WGA forefathers were wise to suggest the 1st year of an incoming BOD be that of learning the ropes of how the Board and committees operate but each person is unique as is the history and mix of the current Board members.

                                  1. By becoming a member you join a statewide association that encourages you to come together with other cachers in the state and form friendships that span Wisconsin.

                                  2. The price is right. No coupons or groupons needed. The price has never changed since we formed the Association- it has always been $0. The price never changes

                                  3. Included in the membership fees, the benefits include: For that low, low price you are given the option to post in the WGA forums, play the Lonely Cache Game, Cache Rescue ad vote in the WGA elections to help elect those that wish to offer to volunteer their time to keep advancing geocaching interests in the state. Also, only WGA members can get those super sweet WGA nametags. <br style=”mso-special-character: line-break;” />
