The big Fish Fry...

GC was officially kicked off today. The Pacific Coast meeting went quite smoothly. Lori Johnson was elected to the nominating committee. Lots of information was passed around. The new MITF and the new Synchro proposal were discussed thoroughly. Our club was honored for its 75 anniversary, as were Howard Taylor and Marilyn Whelan for their 50 years service as judges. There will be more ceremonies to officially recognize our club and judges at the general meeting.

The general meeting began this afternoon. My most immediate thought is that the meeting was incredibly civilized. In the old days we might have had blood on the floor of GC by now, where as today the sponsors of the less popular bylaw changes agreed to withdraw even before the matter went to vote. Lots of great discussions and pro/con exchanges.

In Summary, the new redistricting that would have expanded Pacific Coast to as far as Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas (exhibit A) was withdrawn. Exhibits B,C, D (see GC 09 on US Figure Skating.org) were all passed. Exhibit F was voted down.
