    Thanks
    I am not sure about being a BOD member going forward.  I would hate for my business to hinder the club's relationship with other sponsors.
    I will definitly see MACNA through its completion and will always be a loyal club member though.

    I was just wondering with the By-Laws how that would work.

    The only thing I see in the By-Laws is that it takes a 2/3 vote to approve a commercial member as an officer. Craig is one the most active members in the club and has done as much for the club as anyone IMO. I would hate to loose him from the BOD so I would like to take that vote.

    I hope I didn't come across poorly,  I was more or less wondering if there was going to be a sudden change in the BOD, nothing said at all, a vote or anything else that might occur. 
    It's always been a fine line with selling coral whether in a storefront or out of a residence and club membership.

    I totally understand & this has crossed my mind several times leading up to this.  The last thing I would want to do is jeapordize any of the relationships we have worked hard to build.
    Elections are not until November, I doubt if I will be open before then.
    Even if not on the BOD, I will continue to be very very involved in the club & planning the fests.

    Yes, elections are coming up.  I know I would hate to loose Craig from the BOD as well and I would vote to allow him to stay on as an officer despite his commercial endeavors.  Craig has years of membership, has volunteered a countless number of hours and is one of (if not the) most committed club member we have.  In most cases, I would say that a LFS owner on the board is not a good idea...but this is a different case.  Just my two cents.

    Well there is a big back yard I was going to put a greenhouse on, but I suppose you could pitch a tent there instead.

    I'm sure this area has a need for another LFS. You can already consider me a regular customer.
