<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Hi all!</font><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">You're receiving this message because you're on the Liquid Poets mailing list, and you're on the Liquid Poets mailing list because you're probably a current LP member, and since you're probably a current member you're invited to the annual summer BBQ this weekend at the big pink barn located at <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">2902 Rigden Parkway in Fort Collins, CO. Here's a map: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=2902%20Rigden%20Parkway%2C%20Fort%20Collins%2C%20CO%20(Rigden%20Farms%20barn)" target="_blank">http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=2902%20Rigden%20Parkway%2C%20Fort%20Collins%2C%20CO%20(Rigden%20Farms%20barn)</a></span></font></div>

We have a large group campground reserved starting on Friday the 19th until Sunday the 21st. It's a lovely place with quick access to hiking, mushroom hunting, bike riding, and an RV loaded with leftover food + beer from the summer party (but seriously, most of us go there to enjoy nature.)

<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">As per the subject line: the board has hashed out the details for a new position within the club which is really separating the current Special Events Coordinator into two different roles that separate the large but infrequent competition coordination responsibility from the steady but not overwhelming events coordination. The text of the proposed change reads as follows:</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">Events Coordinator – The Events Coordinator is responsible for the<br>
coordination of the annual summer barbeque and and the annual holiday<br>party. The Events Coordinator will be responsible for recruiting<br>volunteers, selecting venues, and all other details necessary for a<br>successful event. Other events, including but not limited to<br>
fund-raising activities and educational trips as agreed upon by the<br>club officers may also be the responsibility of the Special Events<br>Coordinator or may be delegated to the Public Liaison board member<br>(see description).<br>
<br>Competition Coordinator – The Competition Coordinator is responsible<br>for the coordination of club sponsored competitions. The Competition<br>Coordinator will be responsible for recruiting and qualifying judges,<br>
stewards, and other necessary personnel, reserving an appropriate<br>venue, and implementing a process wherein entries are documented and<br>adequately preserved for the competition as well as providing for a<br>full accounting of any fees collected, if appropriate. The<br>
Competition Coordinator will be responsible for registering the<br>competition date with the sanctioning body and all follow-up reporting<br>requirements required by said sanctioning body. Other<br>responsibilities may include ensuring timely distribution of feedback<br>
to competition entrants and appointment of persons to leadership<br>positions specific to individual competitions.</font></span></div><div><br></div><div>For reference, the current Special Events Coordinator position is written as:</div>
<div><span style="font-family:'comic sans ms', sans-serif"><i><br></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family:'comic sans ms', sans-serif"><i>Special
Events Coordinator </i>– The Special Events
Coordinator is responsible for the coordination of the annual club
competitions, the annual summer barbeque, and the annual holiday
party. The Special Events Coordinator will be responsible for
recruiting volunteers, selecting venues, and all other details

limited to fund-raising activities and educational trips as agreed
upon by the club officers may also be the responsibility of the
Special Events Coordinator or may be delegated to the Public Liaison
board member (see description). </span></div><div><br></div><div>If I had any real say in this country's legislative process all proposed new laws would be written in comic sans, but someone keeps forgetting to ask my opinion. Any constructive input from the club at large will be seriously considered (note: "you suck" is not constructive input unless it comes with advice on how to suck less and a work safe picture of kittens.) Please feel free to email any thoughts to any and/or all of the email addresses on the upper left corner of <a href="http://www.LiquidPoets.com">www.LiquidPoets.com</a> , we truly value the input of our members and like to keep you included in the inner workings of the club when possible.</div>
