Re: 2006 Finger Lakes Regional

It's definitely a shame that alot of the extras are being cut. To me this is a foreshadowing of things to come. Everyone is getting tighter and tighter with budgets (that's not new) but when will we end up not having the means to run the program anymore? I'm currently being asked to pinch whatever pennies we have and we've already been doing it for the last 7 years I've been involved already. From the looks of it we as volunteers already do more and more each year and sooner or later there will be a a limit that there won't be anymore volunteers left to run the program. Sure that's an extreme outlook but I think teams are being stretched too thin lately.
