5.      Event Results

B.   After the news release has been completed the season points keeper needs to receive the score cards.

C.      It is nice to recap the event and forward an article to the editor for publishing in the "River Ramblings".

Advice:   Don't panic, you are not responsible to do all of this.  The only thing the Event Chairman needs to do is to make sure that all of these responsibilities are getting done.  Ask for volunteers and if that doesn't work appoint members.  Remember most of all to have fun!!
