It's as simple as that, let's all work together to build a program for Juniors. The ultimate goal should be a Jr Nationals / party / training session. We should also have a Juniors in Florida before the Seniors around spring break every winter.


Are you volunteering to take on leading this effort? If so, good for you!

A Greek proverb:

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."

A similar Chinese proverb and appropriate to this thread:

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

It's time stop to churning up the dirt to see if there is any life to be salvaged in our dwindling contest scene. Start the process of renewal, turn a few spades and plant some trees.
