: Hi Dale

: Maybe someone who is in the "know" should find out what it costs to
: get calendars printed up, minimum #'s, what kind of deadlines would be
: imposed as to picture retrieval, and if something should be paid to the
: victum......uh.....volunteer who wants to perform this feet( 8^P )....Uh
: feat. The price would depend upon how many wanted the calendar, and the
: packaging and shipping and all that gobbledeegook. Might turn out to be a
: rather large job. Arranging pictures is an aquired talent, to make it look
: good. If 300 folks decide to do this, they are all gonna want to see their
: picture in there and if the Victum takes the time to do all this work and
: then the 300 folks don't like the calendar, who eats the costs. ???? I
: like the idea, and it would probably work well, but, someone with a little
: talent in this field will have to take this job on. And put one calendar
: together and give everyone a chance to check it out before purchasing. Any
: other pros or cons??

: Rehd

: Oh, and a P.S. here: ( the cover could be a collage( sp? ) of some of the
: best looking boats, or pictures ( maybe construction types ) of the year.
: To be voted on by ?????? )

: and another P.S. ( is there a problem with pictures with folks in them that
: don't give their consent? Should photos be of the single individual,
: or..??? )

Hi Rehd,

Why not have everyone post the best photo they have of their boat, to be voted on by fellow builders. The best 12 make it into the calendar. Give folks something to aim for while they're "raising the bar".

Pics should be of the boat only, in tastful surroundings (coffee-table book stuff)

As to who the victim should be? Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm down-under so I guess that rules me out

Paul.
