Mathew,
Excellent post. The way you worded it was the way I was trying to do for a few years and I still couldn't get it anywhere as clear as you did. I love that line about "You are either part of the problem or part of the solution..but you can't be both". That is the golden phrase if there ever was one!!!!!!
I also belong to a few other organizations such as the FOP,NPC and OBCPBA and once again you nailed it about the strength with numbers and having a voice. THis is all to benefit any individual that is INVOLVED.
In a perfect world each and every single powerwasher does not need an organization because there word is as strong as anyones.....BUT.....In the real world this is just about never true unfortunetly because strength is in the numbers as in group(Organizations) and THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GET A VOICE that counts.......
Thumbs way up Mathew!!!!!!!!
