Bob,
While it may be nice to have a pin for each sector travelled, it isn't =
very practical to have each sector develop, fabricate, and distribute =
their pins. Morever, these pins can be more expensive than you might =
think when ordered in small quantities. My vote would be - if you are =
registered, you get a nice hat with the logo as part of your =
registration fee. That's it.
As I read more posts, I am getting a little concerned that the =
anticipated activities for SC's may be escalating above the description =
given in the SC Guide
http://www.jonat.org/bob/JONAT_COORDINATORS_Guide.htm which is =
basically
to establish a route, with recommended hotels, restaurants, and =
stopping points of interest. While I am enjoying doing these core =
activities, I know I would have little time to do much more.

Up front costs would include, for example, printing costs for the =
handout until such time as registrations are paid and the money starts =
coming in. Keep in mind $10 doesn't cover much, so, for example, if we =
decide on the pin idea, you will likely need some sponsorship to cover =
the additional costs (printing plus pin greater than $10).
Any monies left over is to go to charity.

level.

I'm not clear on what costs/reimbursements are anticipated by =
SC's. Other than voluteered time, I was not expecting any costs (or any =
reimbursements). If you are
referring to things like printing optional sector-specific =
handouts, and the like, wouldn't that be covered by the anticipated $10 =
sector fee? Also, I am wondering what happens when say $400 is =
collected in sector fees, and 0-$100 is spent -- where does the =
remainder go?

Hi Brad ... here are some answers as I understand them ...
"fee has been decided for even the National side" - no, still =
under discussion. If everyone can live with the $10 for the Sector fee, =
I say let's set it at that!
"route has been finalized ( guilty here as well in Virginia )" - =
no, that is up the the SC's, and about half of the SC's have not given =
me feedback on their route as of yet. This does not concern me too much =
right now, but should be decided by the end of the month. What does =
concern me is that if an SC has not looked at their route and need an =
extra day, THAT causes a problem for EVERYONE downstream, and should be =
avoided.
The one difficulty is where we do not have a few SC's in place. =
Wisconsin is close to having one. Indiana, I think we will by pass as =
there is no interest. Toronto, I think we are now close. Dallas and =
Oklahoma - not close - have sent out a couple of e-mails to the SC/ASC =
group and have had ZERO response - I have decided that ZERO response =
means "DON'T CARE" and will make the decision myself. That only leaves =
Carolinas and I have some feelers out but no definitive response.
"total of participants by sector has been mentioned" - the =
number of individuals participating in each sector is dependant upon how =
well we do our PR. We probably won't have a good idea until say end of =
March (or even later in some Sectors). One of the keys at this point is =
registration, and we are working on a methodology now.
"decision on who can participate has been finalized" - I think =
we're close - I'll try to put together a policy for review by the end of =
the weekend.
"process has been developed on how the SC's get reimbursed =
should we/they cover some of the costs up front" - that is up to the =
SC's and how they work their Sector finances. There is no seed fund at =
a Tour level.
"While the ideas of emblems and badges and the sort are nice - =
We have got to solidify some of these MAJOR issues here first - or the =
need for these other details will obviously not be needed." - you are =
spot on. But also we should not stifle the ideas on the small issues =
either.
Brad these type of comments are good and I would encourage all =
to be outspoken. There are a few items that are behind where I would =
like to see them too. There is always a last minute rush on volunteer =
type organizations, and I personally hate that part and want to avoid it =
as much as possible.

Team,
Not to be a pessimist - but I agree with Mike 100% and I have to =
ask , Bob - In reference to you r comments below, are there ANY details =
that have been decided on FIRMLY - seriously:
I don't think a:
1. fee has been decided for even the National side
2. route has been finalized ( guilty here as well in Virginia ) =
3. total of participants by sector has been mentioned
4. decision on who can participate has been finalized
5. process has been developed on how the SC's get reimbursed =
should we/they cover some of the costs up front
Among others.....
While the ideas of emblems and badges and the sort are nice - We =
have got to solidify some of these MAJOR issues here first - or the need =
for these other details will obviously not be needed.=20
DIRECTION/DECISIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS REQUIRED =
ASAP
Sorry about being so frank but it is the jist of what Mike was =
talking about.....
