Artsay,
I apparently didn't see the post prior to it being edited. That's why I asked to be shown what was offensive.
I am one of 3 local reps for the RRGCC for the Louisville area, not a very good one though. I volunteer my time as much as I can to try to improve the climbing in the gorge: not just with the coalition but with other organizations as well. If someone questions this, I really don't care because I know what I do and would like to think that I am making a difference.
Shoot, my mother told me to keep quiet all the time. Did I listen to her? Let me put it this way, I certainly know what Dial soap tastes like.
As far as my rank goes, I have no idea how I got it. I'm certainly not going to mention anything about it since I know the power Sandy has over that. Best not to say a work about the rankings or else!
I don't feel attacked. I guess I just live by the philosophy of "Always consider the source". For me, this forum is not a reliable source until I meet and interact with the individuals. It's all good!
Geoff

Geoff!!!! 
You didn't have to answer those questions!
Gretchen said pretty much those same things on that other thread. I wasn't asking you those questions. I was just thinking that if I talked to you in the same manner that she was talking to others that maybe you'd see how her posts were condescending. Nice to learn so much about you, though!

Which is so disappointing. You know, I believe Castro or Chavez doesn't care either what people think of their actions. I know, I'm comparing apples to grenades ...longlegsrule wrote:

Wow...now Gretchen is Castro..that's one helluva leap. Maybe she'll have some good cigars on hand next trip.

speaking for myself - i like to volunteer for rrgcc projects becasue of the personal satisfaction i get from helping our community. what the board does or doesn't do - or say- hasn't kept me from enjoying being a part in the rrgcc and it -probably never will. i have had fun and met lots of great people on trail days, rocktoberfest, derbyfest, etc. i'd be a part of it just because it seems like the right thing to do. now being on the board itself is different - i wouldn't have the personality (for lack of a better term) to be in that position - politics of climbing - ya know. i see wes' point for getting out when he did - but i hope i get to work with him more on trails etc. it's fun being a part of the development and history of this part of red river gorge climbing.

Be careful KD. This thread could take a turn for the positive.

My name is Ryan and I am a board member. The main thing I do for the RRGCC is the accounting work. I spend a few hours every month or so to enter the checking account information into our accounting software package and I make sure all the deposits ( checks from you guys ) get deposited properly. This work allows the board to see what activities bring in money and track how the money is spent.squeezindlemmon wrote:Out of curiosity, what do members of the board really do and what is their purpose and their strategy?
I also try to attend Board meetings to give my input into decisions that are made by the RRGCC. Lately, due to time constraints, I haven't been to very many meetings.
My personal ( NOT THE RRGCC ) agenda is to see the MP land purchase be a success.
Do I feel like I do enough to help the RRGCC, especially raising money for the MP? No I don't, but it's all the free time I am willing/able to give at this time in my life.
I hope you will all consider when you attack the Board or the RRGCC that all the people that do work for the these organizations ( and most like them) do so in their free time and are not compensated for there work. I am not trying defend attacks against individuals, but blanket statements about the board always bother me.
If you have any questions for me I can be reached by e-mail at adams.rharris@gmail.com
Again, this is not a response from the RRGCC or anyone else on the board, just me.
Thanks
Ryan
