State Day Line Up for 2007: Cheryl Hoar and Kathy Allbright have
almost completed the 2007 State Day line up revision.
There are so many unwritten rules Suzanne needed experienced board

final OK until a couple courses confirm their scheduled dates are workable.

VSWGA 2006 budget of $1,000.
fell short of the financial needs for the Vermont Team.
