I will let you know when we get our documentation up... I had a list that Jason Rees and I generated the first year of things our Committee needed to discuss and plan, and thats probably a good way for most events to start.
Music to my ears, Kim - to the beat of common sense applications.

What does: 'do things that appeal to ALL people, not just FIRSTaholics or CD'ers' mean?

I get the rest. Would love to see your documentation when it comes out. I am an absolute firm believer in off seasons and their important role in helping get the word out to communities and potential teams.

Thanks,
Jane
