As Steve said WHERE THE *%$@!*??! WHERE THE REST OF YOU THEN!
When I was nominated it wasn't at my home group P.N.W.C.P.C.
but at the South East meeting in Atlanta. I got the nomination
because I opened my mouth at the wrong time. I accepted the
nomination because it looked like no one else cared enough
about the I.C.P.S. to serve a club that means a lot to me.
I saw Steve get the nomination in the same way. He DID NOT
ASK FOR IT IT WAS THRUST APON HIM. I can not speak for him
but my guess is that he accepted for the same reasion i did.

You are all damn lucky any one serving this organization is still
here. You can not expect this organization to be here tomorrow if
you will not support it today.
