A LOT of people put a ton of time and work into this way before we ever became involved, and you all have our gratitude.
Yes, it was very cool to be a small part of the discussions on how to take those ideas and turn them into a reality. Having so many other people as excited and determined to make this happen as Kim and I were was a pretty darn cool thing to see.
I too am completely amazed and surprised as to how far we have all come in one short year, which makes me even more excited to see what this coming year will bring. I also remember sitting at our picnic table (after getting my butt kicked shooting pins) and talking with everyone on how to get this idea that everyone had been working on off the ground. Yes it does seem like yesterday.
From Tim's idea and discussions, to Tim and Joe's private blog, to the discussions on ccwne, to the board of directors being formed, to Chris taking the paperwork in to be filed, to where we are today with so many great members stepping up to the plate to work so hard, it has truly been the efforts of a great bunch of people, and I thank you all.
I think if we could get an annual banquet organized beginning next fall and time it so that if falls close to our birthday, that would be way cool.
