ACA meeting



I had been working for a while preparing for last week's ACA annual meeting/First Instructors' Conference/Semiannual SEIC meeting/Quarterly Board of Directors' Meeting. Prior to the meetings, I had to prepare the Recreation Committee Report and also prepare a presentation for the Club Instructors' Roundtable Discussion.

It was a cold several days to decide to camp out for the weekend at the KOA campground south of Fredericksburg. It was also the first time I'd ever tried to dress out in a suit while camping. Quite a challenge.

The meetings went pretty well and the Instructors' Conference was well attended and energized. I prepared notes from the Instructors' Roundtable Discussion and posted it and my presentation here and here, respectively.

I'm looking forward to the coming year and planning the 2009 Instructors' conference and the addition of what they're calling the ACA Clubs Rendezvous. Attendees at this year's conference were jazzed about the possibilities of what is to come.

All that said and done though, and after sitting and watching politics for a day and a half, the old bones are getting creaky. It's time to get outside and get the paddle swinging.
