It is sad to see such a large list. I know individuals stepping back from working the Smith this year has made a difference with many donors or advertisers. Often, if contacted they do not respond well to new folks calling on them, many have had hard years and couldn't, also many did not see a return on their investment. We have discussed many of these concerns at the planning meetings, as well as the differences between the 50th grand event and the 51st Regatta. Do not let the numbers discourage, Every dollar helps!
