[cool][#0000ff]I appreciate your kindly comments. Glad you enjoy BFT...and whatever contributions I make. I am not bailing out of the forums...just reducing the amount of time I spend on them. But I am stepping aside from active participation in the club. It has proven to be something that cannot generate enough ongoing activity to justify keeping it alive.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Actually, we received online applications from several members in cities and states that were too far away to ever expect attendance at meetings. It was nice to see the support, even from afar. But if there is not enough attendance and particpation on a local level to even be able to choose officers or establish a formal structure then it is not possible to continue as a club.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I started the float tube forum for BFT a long time ago and I will remain as a moderator and active contributor for as long as I am wanted or needed. Thankfully, we have a core group of members who are experienced enough to be able to handle most of the questions from newbies...and other older members alike. I am not really needed on most threads and discussions but I flatter myself that I can still help out on occasion. And I am usually happy to express my opinions...needed or not.[/#0000ff]
