At present, it is only Art Goodtimes. Let's wait and see what the landscape looks like in a week or so. The powers that be in "Club 19" are not likely to give up easily, so this could get interesting. Maybe "Club 17" will get their attention. Very well said Bruce86.

However, I hope you can see that Club 20's reputation has been seriously damaged over the last couple of years. If Club 20 wants to be taken seriously by the powers that be in Denver right now, it needs to demonstrate that it respects the voices of people like Art Goodtimes. He was an able spokesperson for many of us within Club 20. His leadership position within Club 20 was evidence to many of us that Club 20 was open to listening to everyone and would work toward compromises that were acceptable to many. Several of the decisions made during the Club 20 spring meetings has convinced me that my voice is not welcome. It's time for me to look for an organization that truly works to be the voice of the PEOPLE of the Western Slope. Reeves,
