Time for a change

waterman · 11-01-2014, 09:24 PM

Well, it seems that I have been the SW Regional Leader for what seems to be an eternity. I have been involved in a rally each of the last 6 years. I have worked on 2 National Rallies, 2 combined rallies and 2 SW rallies. It has been fun setting up the rallies but it is some work to have a good rally. Right now I just don't seem to have the enthusiasm to look forward to planning the next rally. I always said, "When it's no longer fun setting them up it would be time to step down".

It is time for me to just show up at a rally and enjoy it rather than thinking of all of the plans that need to be accomplished. It has been a pleasure to prepare these rallies for the enjoyment of everyone.

It dose Joel, and you do/did a fantastic job and the majority appreciated your efforts.

**Rasta** · 11-01-2014, 09:57 PM

Thank you for what you have done Joel!!

**GIBBY** · 11-01-2014, 10:00 PM

Thanks for all your hard work Joel, it didn't go unappreciated.

You've done a fine job Joel! No need to quit now.

I always appreciated the good times that were had because of all the effort
you put into it. I will miss being able to just show up and relax and have fun
knowing you are in charge, and that everything will flow smoothly.
Thanks for everything!

Joel....you deserve a break. You and your Broncos have had a tough 12 months.

Enjoy your retirement.

I've been to all of them, through everyone's photos and stories.

If you haven't noticed, other than Joel, none here that have replied so far ride a Vulcan anymore or are from the SW area. It's kind of funny.
