<DIV>No, that's not a typo. It really says “2008”. <BR><BR>It's time for to vote
on who you'd like to coach at the 2008 GCA Caller School in Cleveland.
<BR><BR>The 25th IAGSDC Convention calling staff includes: Anne
Uebelacker, Barry Clasper, Betsy Gotta**, Dayle Hodge, Ed Foote**, Ett
McAtee, John Steckman, Lloyd "Sparky" Sparks, Mike DeSisto, Mike Jacobs**, Nick
Martellacci, Sandie Bryant, and Vic Ceder.<BR><BR>(** = CALLERLAB
Accredited Coach.)<BR><BR>If you'd like any information about these callers you
can check out their bios on the Touch A Quarter Century web site:
http://www.taqc.org <BR><BR>While we've traditionally hired people from the
calling staff, the following coaches have also asked to be considered:
Andy Shore, Ken Ritucci**, and Harlan Kerr.<BR><BR>To vote, simply email your
top three choices numbered 1 thru 3 to nmcaller@aol.com <BR><BR>Please list the
names in order of preference (i.e, #1 = person you'd most like to study
with).<BR><BR>The votes will be tallied, and the two coaches with the highest
number of points will be <BR>contacted regarding their interest and
availability. <BR><BR>(Remember, we don't hire coach #3 until we have
enough students to fill the third section.) <BR><BR>It's only January, 2007. Why
the big rush, Nick? <BR><BR>Thank you for asking! We're going to submit
our 2008 proposal to All Join Hands in early 2007, so that we'll be able to
begin accepting registrations immediately following convention.
<BR><BR>Historically, we've applied for co-sponsorship after convention,
causing a delay in figuring out our final budget, tuition costs,
scholarship availability, etc.<BR><BR>Moving the approval process to
the beginning of the year will make for a smoother process all
around. <BR>Last but not least, please sign your vote. With your
name. At the bottom of the message. <BR><BR>Please don't assume that
I'll know who you are based on your email address. This procedure will be our
"checks and balances" mechanism preventing people from voting "early and
often" and thereby stacking the deck in favor of their favorite coaches!
<BR><BR>Ok, gang. Get out there and vote!</DIV>
