Subject: Group Update.

As of today, I have updated the Excell Spreadsheet indicating that there 
are 47 persons out there who are interested in supporting a formal 
group. For this I am thankful.
 
Also, in the past week, I have distributed a mass email to most if not 
all of the interested parties asking for persons to volunteer to take 
lead on or participate in certain roles that could fall within the 
groups proposed mission. I also left the floor open to modify, remove or 
add any of the proposed roles that I have suggested.
 
With the exception of two persons who volunteered in the open forum to 
participate in a general way, those calls for active participation have 
left unanswered (in the form of saying "I want to be part of 
such-and-such focus group")
 
In the absence of active participation and volunteerism, for whatever 
reason, the group will not be able to obtain its proposed goals. As 
someone said... "it will fizzle" and unless and until more persons are 
willing (and able) to commit time to making it an active success, the 
"group" will have to remain as a "well intentioned idea that is yet to 
be implemented".
 
I will take the information I have so far, integrate it as best as 
possible to Dave Leonard's Rotary Roster, so that others who are looking 
for either geographical or type-specific resources will be able to 
benefit from an updated "list" of rotary guys.
 
I will also continue to be open to suggestions regarding a Rotary Type 
Group and be willing to participate in making it a success, but I will 
not foreseably be able to be the "sole resource" in its implementation, 
and I did not intend to be such when I proposed its formation. Many of 
the goals that I discussed I will address on a personal basis, and 
anything that I develop will be available for peer review, critique and 
shared use, but much of what I develop will be specific to my aircraft 
and engine combination.
 
Let me know if you do NOT want your name, aircraft, contact info, or 
hometown included on the rotary roster that is already in existence 
within the next 7 days, and I will remove it from the update that I will 
send to the Rotary Roster webmaster.
