What do business do? They think smarter, not harder.

Maybe instead of making the club sweep the hangar everyday,

they can invest
in a leaf blower.

Maybe instead of disassembling a club glider everyday to store in

a
trailer, they can invest in a hangar.

Perhaps instead of having club members walk wingtipa, they can

invest in a
wing wheel.

If this sport isn't made easier and convenient, you're done.

Wake up, think outside the box!!!!


Telling a guest on day one they MUST WORK AND PULL THEIR

WEIGHT AROUND
HERE, scares the heck out them.

Their are easier and smarter ways.

You forget their premise. They want it for free or cheap! They
don't want to invest in a leaf blower, or a wing tip wheel, let alone a
hangar!! That costs money!! They don't want to spend money or
work either.. They want others to do it for them for free. Most of
them are slackers who want to ride on the backs of a few that are
willing to work..

They want easy and convenient, but especially CHEAP!! Sometimes
those "wants" are mutually exclusive and ride on imposing on other
members.

Our club owns weed whackers and leaf blowers as well as tractors
and mowers too. The club needs members that are willing to pitch
in with some of their own time (and sometimes muscle too).
