Um, Doyle or Bradley, just take some time here and explain how come you did it and what the purpose was and what kinda feedback you got.
2:16
Well, it was, honestly, it was an off-the-cuff idea, and annually, the Classic Series has always had a, a meeting with the member shows, and we did that back early spring.
2:32
And when that got concluded, uh, and kinda the wrap-up and, and the aftermath of that, um, and I don't even recall who it was on the board said, "You know, why don't we do that with the members? Uh, just have a member forum, et cetera." And it's like, wow, we may have missed the boat for years, uh, and we didn't know what to call it, et cetera, et cetera, so finally we just said, "Why don't we just call this a town hall meeting?" And our intent and our goal was to have one-on-one, um, relationship, communications with our membership because, uh, as a board, we, we kind of blind ourselves as to what, maybe what's going on in the real world, and we always get strapped with a problem after the fact or someone didn't understand a rule change or a policy change, et cetera.

3:40
Uh, we did it on a Sunday afternoon, which may or may not have been in- inconvenient, but, um, we did have what we felt was pretty good participation from our membership and had some interesting points brought up.
3:56
They had some interesting questions.
3:59
And we kinda went through what our goals are or what our, what our, uh, projects are at this time, which we found ourselves having several balls in the air.
