Good Mornin' seds fans,

I'm going to take the time to interduce myself, and reply to Dave's novel that
 Ijust read. Dave that's way to much to expect for Christmas. Anyways I am
Steve Mustaikis. If you went to DC in late summer last year you may remember
me. Otherwise your probaly clueless to who I am. Well for starts I'm from UAH
SEDS, I have been in SEDS since fall 90' , I have been reeding SEDS-L since
the begining of this year, so I do know a little about what's going on.

Enough of that, now about Dave's list.

I think that 90% of what he said was right on the money. We can't keep
complaining about everything and get nothinng done.  I think we have to define
what nationals job really is.  Isn't it supposed to hold all the chapters
together and help organize a national seds organization ? I can't figure out
why this is so hard? I'm not an officer of any kind in seds by my own choice
but it shouldn't be this hard to organize national into a working organization.
As I see it seds is an chapter organization. National should be the group of
people that people goto for information. There doesn't need to be alot extra's
on a national level? Will someone inform me on our national duties ? National
shouldn't be a giant organization.

What we need is comunications between chapters. If someone asks me for
 information, on seds
What we need is comunications between chapters. If someone asks me for
 information, on seds I'll give them what I have, if they need more I will make
 sure they
will get it. it's not that hard. We cant count on MIT to do every thing. If
you have a starter kit make the copies and mail it. I should be able to post
a note here and find out where I can get what I need.  For example Amy's
seminars, she asked for information and we should give her what we know. This
is the reason we are a national organization. Isn't it ? I understand that
we have responsibilties, because of seds being a national organization and the
national board members job is to take care of them.

About the Constitution, why we changed it is understandable, but what was left
out that was in the old one was rediculas. When we were try to decide on IDM's
did anyone bother to look at the old stand ? also about reimbursement of funds?
There both in the old Constitution.

Well this is what I see as the majority of the problem. Each chapter should
help get the national objectives done. One chapter does not need to do it
all. As for UAH SEDS were not to good to help we know we cant do it all. As
it is we have bitten off more than we should have already through our own
projects. And I see nothing wrong with us worrying more about our projects than
national. Our board members should do there part I agree, but they also are
national. Our board members should do there part I agree, but they also are
national. Our board members should do there part I agree, but they also
need time to give to our chapter as well.

Well that's all I hope it made some sense. If not, at least I tried.

ad astra,

Steve Mustaikis
