Iowa County is totally Wisconsin related here.

Hello Debie and everyone,
Ok let me clear this up a bit, and add some thoughts.

Ok I never said this was set in concrete, I stated it was a
PROPOSAL, and any or all of it could or could not be accepted.
Also - Debie, I am not trying to be RUDE either, but can you tell
me on your above thought, why we elect a president or aquire a
new minister if they are not already part of the organization
(locally as ie. in the local church or in the whitehouse)? Where
someone is from or where in the particular organization they are,
to me is not relevant as long as there service record is good.

I am not saying you do NOT have a choice in to who is "being
plugged into" this position, that is the reason I sent in a
Proposal, for everyone to chose as to whether they would like any
part, some parts, or all parts of it. Again I say, it is not set
in concrete.
Also I am not demanding these three in particular be accepted, I
just noticed that the two I spoke with (and they inquired as to
the SC position) were interested and seemed to me to have a good
service record, as in any position, I would expect each and
everyone of the CCs to contact them or to check them out before
making a decision.

Now I would like to ask a question of Debie, since she stated "I
think the people should really have something to do with
Wisconsin to begin with."
Do you think if a person does not live (or never has lived) or if
they do not have (or never have had) relatives in WI, that they
should in no way be anypart of the WIGenWeb?
If this is what you mean, please tell me how many non-WI related
(by the above statement) CCs are in WI.
