After almost a year as a leader here I am stepping down as Chapter Leader. I have given it alot of thought and with my back problems and pretty much a dead chapter, I have had enough. I wish the next person luck and maybe you will have the energy to get the chapter going.

Sorry to see you go. I hope your back improves. Activity was slowly improving with you as a leader. Hopefully the next leader can keep the ball rolling. Thanks for your efforts!

Tom, as they say, "Rome wasn't build in a day", or something like that.

Stop a minute and think, MN was pretty dead when you volunteered to be chapter leader, and like Thomas H. mentioned, the chapter was improving its activity under you leadership.

I would hope you reconsider your decision. I have some new tools to help getting the word out to chapter members if you are interested.

Trust me it isn't something you did or didn't do that is keeping the chapter from being active. The members have to want to belong to a chapter.

If the case is that a chapter is not wanted, then FTE can deal with that also.

George,
Its just frustrating. Its great to have GTG's (have had 3 with a wisc member) and that is all I was trying to do. If you have some miracle (lol) TOOLS I will listen to what you have to say and then make a decision. Feel free to put them here or pm/email what they are. I hate the thought of letting it go but it is quite BORING when only a few care.

Well in the cl forum, a tool was recommended on how a leader can setup and then mass pm their chapter member list.

I can send YOUR message to all residents of MN state.

That's just a few.

Although I hope you reconsider Tom I also respect any decision you make.

Tom,
No SES light. It comes and goes. I think it will appear b4 winter is over. The problem is I don't know what the heck to look for, even with the code......don't know how to trouble shoot it.

Dale we can take a meter and check them for continuity or just get in there and replace them. Give me a hollar anytime you need AE run.
