Actually, 420 votes is above average. We normally feel pretty good to get above 350, which is about average. The highest was 796, which was when I ran against Terry 2 years ago. As I study the history of these totals, some strange questions enter my mine, such as why was that total so far from the norm? I have some ideas, but we won't discuss this.
 Now that John is President, my major concern is that he gets up to speed on issues of concern to his office as quickly as possible. This will be a hard row to hoe, as there are numerous issues to address. The first item he will need to take care of is the tradeshow in Louisville. I'll need some members to help, and as President it is his job to find them, and to arrange to have to trailer stocked/delivered, to the KY state fairgrounds. Then when it is finished, he will need to get it to where it needs to be stored. I believe the WGT is pretty well taken care of, with the exception of getting the needed merchandise on location. Then comes Baraboo, I heard there will need to be a visit payed there to explain some issues concerning our requirements. In order to achieve our goals, I would suggest that our members who are knowledgable and current in regards to the affairs of HPOCA work with our President to achieve our missions.
Have a great day!!!
