After all the debate on the board as well as information received in private emails, The BOD has decided to suspend our junior Member Program at least temporarily until we have time to discuss the new information at our mid year meeting.

While many of us (including myself) still support the program, some issues have come to light that had not been considered previously.

Please be assured that the BOD's primary focus will always be the well being of the , its Members, and our Hobby.

I want to give a tremendous thanks to Belinda Hixon and all her work on this program.

I appreciate all the comments and emails on both sides of this subject and will update everyone once a final decision has been made.

Thanks,

Douglas Smith
President
