We need a new champion.
First of all, some history. At the end of last week, I was finally offered the school for the 21st of October. I thought about it over a couple of hours, and finally called back to decline. It just wasn’t enough time to get it all together. I had to give answer that day to have time to get it through the trustee meeting for approval. Slightly less than a month is too short notice to work out the various other services involved, like music folks etc. I told them I would need to get back to them with a new date. (That’s assuming we continue with that arrangement).
So, here we are today. The title of this post is “We need a new champion”. I’m going to bow out from heading up this process. I’ve given it a decent effort, but at this point, a variety of factors are kind of forcing me to turn it over to someone else. Some reasons are personal, like things I have going on in my life that need my attention, and some are logistic. It’s rather hard for me to get to the city often enough to make arrangements for everything.
If someone wants to take this on, feel free to declare your intentions here. Or you can contact me privately if you prefer. I personally recommend it be someone who lives in the city. I will be happy to assist by offering the resources I developed on this site, which includes posting any information on the permanent pages you need, and adjusting the order forms so that ticket orders are sent to you (note I have an automated paypal option for creditcards, and if you have a paypal account, this can also be set to use yours). I will also pass on any information I have to the new champion including contacts etc.
Good luck to whoever takes this on! I’ll certainly be there, and I’ll even pitch in that night.
