I am happy to be Show Chairman again if we can get Committee Heads. Sadly, only three folks have volunteered – Tammy Tomlinson, Anne Pittman and Roseanna Frankowski. Thank you ladies!!! It appears to me that the membership is not interested in having the specialty with this lack of participation. Please reconsider and step up or it will be cancelled. I understand folks want to show at the event, as would I. Many of these committees do not restrict you from showing and some would only restrict you from one show out of four. I must say I am extremely disappointed in our membership.
