Recruiting

Connie, Just Do it. Double the entry fee for Nationals. I'm for it. I seriously doubt you will find much drop off in the total number of entries. Face it, if I'm willing to spend a grand ($) on flying to Fort Lauderdale with hotel and meals, you can probably stiff me for another $40 and I won't notice it. I may *** a bit, but life will go on. Raise the regular USMS dues if you have to also. My kids swim USS and its $700/yr per kid for coaching etc...... USMS dues are pretty small in comparison. Do it Connie...... take charge and raise the dues. Let 'em complain. We'll all get over it...... soon as they go to the pump to fill up their car they'll forget.... :-) Condition though..... make sure Nationals are at a good vacation location each year. None of this Indy crap. John Smith
