I am optimistic. I believe recent event have forced positive change, that will cause members to be more interactive in HPOCA. I hope perhaps the members will take a more active part in the association, rather that depend on a few to take care of things. Maybe we will have more members who feel it is rewarding to contribute to the organization, rather than occasionally go to a show, Maybe, more will run for positions, and maybe more will vote. It is my opinion that anytime one member or group of members is the only thing holding this organization together, at that time we would be in sorry shape, and doomed to failure eventually. If approached correctly, a shakedown can have positive results. I would not advocate the mass resignation of the officers and board, as that would leave us without any sort of leadership, or knowledge of current issues. I would be comfortable with a transition which would provide a constant, and continual rotation of the officers and board. Later, Andy
