Sitting here (procrastinating) I came up with an idea. I am curious what you all think about it.
What if the Northeast Board members gave away awards each year to honor armwrestlers for their efforts? For example, we could honor a National Armwrestler of the Year, European Armwrestler of the Year a World Armwrestler of the Year, National Coach of the Year, Most Improved Armwrestler etc...
We could chip in to buy the winners awards (trophies, plaques etc...) Just a thought

Thanks Mike. I thought maybe we could come up with categories and then nominations. We could put polls up and let the members decide.

Very positive and great idea.. You could get some pretty nice awards if each member donated just 1$ count me on! :-) and Great Idea, James!

What about a most nervous award? Really though a nice idea. Maybe not even a real "award" but perhaps a certificate or plaque that is easily sent via mail. Or a John Madden multiple legged turkey.

Thanks for the feedback all. We should think about possible categories and then get some nominations from people in Nov. We can use whatever people decide to donate to determine the monetary value of the awards.

Did you actually take the time to use all those periods, or are you sending your posts through a teletype. I know Alabama is behind the curve, but I hope you aren't paying for your telegrams by the character.

I think that is a great idea,what if we just got Kurt to put the award on there profile like the national champ, above your name put most improve,armwrelster of the year etc..... I just dont see ppl getting together and paying for an award. that way it's for board members only you have to be on the board to be consider for and award

That's a good ideal. I think enough people would pitch in to sustain it. One category could be dedicated fan or spectaclor. For not participating Scott and Arturo are pretty educated. Anything positive is worth the effort. Who armwrestles for money anyways?
