Lots of retired guys out there that don’t realize that others have jobs and this is just a hobby and not a profession… Gets tiring if you know what I mean… I'd like to see them step up instead of complaining...

You assumed correctly…

As far as the additional questions go:
1. The Board of Directors will review and vote on the proposed event
2. The Events Director (currently yours truly)
3. Well it depends: Sponsored Events could include advertising only or it could come with funds depending on requests. We are in the process of defining other aspects such as Vendor sponsored events. Each will vary and will require some sort of Board of Directors discussion before approval is given.

Well maybe some will step up however the guy that wants to do it will make it happen and ask the good questions. I (and a small group of members) held 3 ZR-1 Events in Las Vegas and we would have continued with or without sponsorship. Guys have to have driven and motivated to be successful. The Guys that have to be told probably aren’t the right guys to put on a successful event… I could be wrong… but maybe they should have a chance.

I get this loud and clear… I’d like to post a year out but unfortunately this year I relocated as the new year arrived. I hope to start on the 2015 desired list and post as soon after I can get the head nod from the Board.

The Vegas Event has been discussed in the General Section. One of our members wants to hold the event and the Board will help sponsor. We are still awaiting what the event will look like and how we can help. The Board would like to make this one of our annual events as well to help keep our membership west of the Mississippi engaged.
Hope this helps answer your additional questions…
BTW – I’m also soliciting for Event Volunteers. Would be good to have someone like yourself that’s interested.
Cheers,
