There's a weekend at SPC planned for March...if we actually get the dates, and someone steps up to run the school, that's the most probable time.

Lol. Read the last sentence in the first post. And Jamie is right. Chris Meier is certainly welcome to chair the school again he did such a great job last March. If he won't /can't then in order to have a school we'll need a capable (or coachable) chair. I'm sure we'll find someone...

Oh and March's dates are confirmed. Still waiting on Brooksville and usually don't know until Dec.

Can't do anything for the next couple of years. I'm finding it hard even to attend events. School full time, work pretty much full time, and my son full time. Ahhhhh life.

We need to get this thread fired up. Steve's job as Grand Poobah of FAST is a thankless job as it is, don't make it more difficult by making him BEG for event chairmen! Besides, ask anybody who's done it, it's kinda fun!

I'm thinking about chairing the school even this year if someone wants to co-chair with me.

I talked to Loren last night and he made the questionable judgment call (must be the intoxication from the new ride) to have me co-chair with him for the March driver school.

I've played all of the roles but never led one before, so be gentle....

LOL nah, it's usually outside of his control anyways. I could have made the Jan event but Verizon and QWest screwed that one for me, so I'll be working that weekend now :(

On the plus side, once all of these projects are done, the rest of the year should be quiet :)

I retired, srsly, after 32 years and 6 months I've left, apparently , in light of the current events, just in time. I know it has nothing to do with the Feb auto-x, but I just had to tell someone. Now I can drive Diane nuts full time.
