NWTF banquet committee

[Colorado Bob]

How many of you are on your local NWTF banquet committee? If you are-- how many years have you done it & how long did it take till you burned out ? This is my 2nd year & it seems like all groups---When the work starts there are generally just a couple guys who roll up their sleeves & do the work. It's frustrating at times.

Our chapter is pretty small about 160 -180 attend the banquet. But we made the Golden Gobbler last year. CB

I was on a committee for two years for one chapter, then someone started a local chapter and I was on the committee the first year for that. Let's just say I ended up having some issues with what it appeared the NWTF director wanted and that gave me enough frustration that I no longer participate on the committee's, in fact I haven't even renewed my membership since. Just left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Bob......

Sounds like our local is about the same size as yours.....maybe a tad bigger. I wish I has the time to be a committee member. Our chapter's monthly meeting starts and ends before I'm done working, most nights. Maybe, someday, when things slow down a bit...........

I've been on our committee 10 years now.
I'm a Silver Life Sponsor on top of that.
Yes it is hard to keep interested when people come to the banquets & do nothing but B_t_h!

I'm thankful, I'm able to be involved.
