Survey results ready

Hi, folks. The much anticipated results of the convention survey are now ready, and I have posted them at nmra.org. Use the NEWS link to see the lead-in and the link to the PDF of the full survey results. Interesting reading. And, Mike's column for the May issue of Scale Rails has some summarization of things. I've posted that colum already in the PRESCAR section under Publications from the nav sections.

We have also done some pretty significant updates to the Contest pages. You can look at the new pages which Bob Hamm and his crew have written at nmra.org/convention/contests/.

Trying to get the 2009 posts of the AP awards up. One thing we are doing is moving to an XML based format which will allow people to search by Region, Award or month as they wish. I hope to have that up later tonight, but may be Monday or Tuesday. Frankly, if its not tonight, it will be Tuesday since I have to watch the Tarheels crush those dreaded Spartens in the Championship game. After that, all we have to look forward to is baseball. So, it will be a good time for me to start re-building my layout. It has been dormant for about 5 years now, and it is time to resurrect it.

Don't forget to get your election ballots back to HQ. They must be postmarked by May 1 to count. This election is is important, as aren't they all, but be sure to vote.

Thanks, and see you in a few days.
