Subject: Re: Independent Organization

Hi to All,
        I have been reading the digest form of this list for several months
and feel I need to respond to this posting. (Many Thanks to all for sharing
so much information for all to use and benefit by.)   
        I agree with George and Wynn & Lindy. I would like to see an
Independent Organization for Balloon Artists. What better way to pool all of
the resources, than from all the manufacturers in the industry. I do think
we owe a great deal of gratitude to Pioneer for all they continue to do for
us. But as I see this mailing list growing and the BHQ Directory and the
Directory on WBDN. It seems we are ready for a
Professional Organization and Certification Program created and administered
by Professional Balloon Artist. Who better would know our needs and be able
to address the problems and issues that concern us. I am all for it!!
