2016 PGCA Annual Meeting Announcement

[Jean Swanson]

To All

I was events chainman for many years , a thankless job, and no matter where you selected a spot for the annual meeting, it was never the correct location. A fact--Louisville, KN is the geographical location of the overall membership of the PGCA, east or west of the Mississippi River---over which 76% of the PGCA membership live EAST of the Mississippi. The last Louisville show was POORLY attended, I know, because I organized it !! I always considered a 500 to 600 mile radius as a days drive to have the event, a major consideration. Also what does the area have as interest ? Not an easy task!! I think the current BOD is doing their due diligence .

According to the By-lawyer, I see nothing that states that there is not room to have another get together ,wherever, that does not conflict ---just needs someone to take the bull by the horns and put in the countless hour to organize the function. Be ready for you know what, it will not satisfy all.
