It's no wonder.....

I'd love to have a Sandra Mitchell for SAWS!! Heck, I'd like a Sandra for all the sledding states.

While I won't address the cost issues at this point, the other concern about having a SAWS volunteer representative at each snow show could be personal vacation time. Say the money is there, is this individual just suppose to set aside 6 vacation days to travel to the shows each year? There isn't one of us who isn't employed by someone else. Meaning, none of us are self-employed or independently wealthy. So, our vacation time comes into play as well. I would LOVE to have SAWS pay me to travel to the shows (frankly though Todd is better at working the shows than I am ), but I'm not sure that I'd be willing to burn my annual allocation of vacation time in this manner. Maybe once the kids are grown and out of the house, maybe.....

There isn't an easy answer to any of this. I wish there was.

Oh - and SAWS is regularly reaching out to individuals in our uncovered states, as we encounter opportunities. A lot of this happens behind the scenes, not publicly on the forums.

We signed up over 90 new members in Puyallup and raised over $1,000.

susie

you are thinking out of your pocket. I am saying have saws hire someone outside the directors. That would be there job. that person would become the face of saws but take direction from the board of directors.
think big picture.

If SAWS wants to come to the Spokane show this year. I (509) will cover the booth cost. I'll run this by Dave right now.
