I agree, we do need a video of our yearly National!  Perhaps there are
other ways to go about it?  Do we have anyone with the club who could
volunteer to videotape the National as best they could, and then as copies
are made for club members (who would purchase them), the profits could go
to the GPCA? That is, of course, after the videotaper has regained his/her
costs?  Is this feasible, and legal? 

 I don't suppose we could hire a photographer to videotape the Nat'l, pay
him, & then make our own copies (that probably isn't legal, is it?).   

If there is already a committee to handle this, I hope nobody thinks I'm
stepping on toes or something.  If not, perhaps there should be?

Just a thought - - and I've only had a little coffee so far this morning,
so I hope my brain is awake enough!  <g>
