The meetings are at the Nike COY clinic in Louisville. It is well advertised. Not many showed up to it last year. The t-shirts were a member vote. It was voted on and passed to stop giving away the free t-shirts and to do away with the $500 sponsorship. The dues went from $50 to $250 because you saved $300 on sponsorship. So it actually costs less this year. If you don't like the way the system is, my advice is to get involved. Start spending your time in helping the association. These are volunteers. Every member has a right to go to the meetings, vote and change things. But don't sit back and watch someone else do all the work then complain about the way they do it.

Of course the meetings are held in Louisville. Why not choose a location that's a little closer to the parts of the state. Lexington would be a better choice.
