MAR

[Lil' Lavery]

MAR has done everything in their power to try and inform everyone in the region that this is happening and how to get involved in the planning process. That is absolutely not MAR's problem. They were even handing out flyers at regionals last season. Honestly, any active mentor in the region pretty much had to intentionally avoid MAR not to be exposed to it at some point this summer.

During last season and in the summer, the 3553 main contact was, let's just leave it at less than a great communicator. This is why the information never reached the people involved in our new and old team. Due to the team folding (school whatnot/long story, we were not at offseasons either.

Aside from that I've already been in touch with the parties I need to be in touch with thanks to Don and Ed. I have also apologized already to Ed if I came across in a bad manner. I will also be helping them get the info out to teams likes ours who were in limbo during the summer and in the previous season and did not have all the info, including newly registering teams.

Sean, I wouldn't go as far to say that 'Any Active Mentor in the region had to intentionally avoid MAR'. I consider myself, and many others that I'm in frequent contact with to be 'active' (which I guess is a relative term) mentors. Yes, I was copied on the e-mails, but there wasn't much information in any of them, or at least none that I saw. It seems like the only way to get information (Other than who was on the board of directors and an assortment of resolutions) is to actually go to one of the MAR meetings - which I did.
