2008 VSC Tasks  At the Fall banquet the outgoing executive committee introduced an idea that changes the functioning of this club.  Because not enough volunteers for the 2008 executive committee were found, all of the tasks that need to be accomplished to run racing were enumerated.  Each task was assigned to a club member who will need to see that their assigned task is accomplished in a timely manor. See the full task list here.  (posted 11/14/07)
