The guys did a fine job considering it was done by John alone it seems. Kudos!! John, Andy, Thanks for all the info and background. Would love to discuss at M12 how I could help support this going forward.

David,

COPA doesn’t lack for smart people with great ideas. What we really need is more volunteers who are willing to make things happen! I was serious about joining the M13 Planning Team. Please think about it…

Blue skies,

Craig

I thank all of the M12 organizers and look forward to seeing everyone. It’s my first.

Mike,

Speaking on behalf of the entire M12 Planning Team, you’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy Migration 12 and look forward to attending next year’s event, too.

CU @ M12!

Craig

PS - And, now it’s back to my regularly scheduled Migration activities. Although I type rapidly, unfortunately I have to actually think about what I type. But, sometimes I get to abandon my email in-box and make forum posts! [:D]

PPS - This morning I played hookey and even went flying for a bit. It wasn’t Cirrus time but fun nonetheless - had to get a checkout in a local club’s newish C-172 that a beginning PPL student intends to rent. We even managed to find our way back to the airport by just looking out the window. Amazing… [;)]

So does this meet your needs to have it posted HERE.

John:

That is just fine. You guys do a great job. But…

1. I registered over o month ago.

2. I haven’t done the guidebook yet.

I’m a simple guy. I don’t always spend the time to decode the logic the software guys have built. I guess I didn’t know that I had to go REGISTRATION THAT I HAD TOTALLY DONE OVER A MONTH AGO.

My bad. Hell, I’m still learning the new features of iOS 8.0.

David, Good suggestions. On the FB one many of our members hate FB and will not even consider getting a log on, even if all they used it for was COPA.

Count me in that group. And I have been to every Migration.

[gordonf (Gordon Feingold)]

As another data point. Almost half of the members go[ing] to this migration will be their first.

So much for all those early “Where are all the west coast guys?” concerns, eh?

[SR22Tesq (Scott Williams)]

I never had concerns. Pierre and I kinda knew a western M would appeal to western COPAns, and ‘Vegas, Baby’ draws from all over. Thanks, Craig for not letting the flatlanders whine too many much [:’(]

Gordon,

The SW and NW are certainly the highest registered regions, but not as high as they should be giving the location of the migration. With only 24% of the members on the west coast. The West should be higher than they are.

This is shaping up to be one of the highest attended migrations. Would like to see us over 400 attendees.

John:

Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

With only 24% of the members on the west coast.

Which is, what, triple their participation at past events (perhaps CO Springs excepted)?

Personally, I’m only drawing two conclusions from the data thus far:

1. More people attend Migration when it’s close to where they live. (Duh…)
2. If it wasn’t for the organizing work of some of our Regional Governors, we probably would not have the long-distance attendance that we anticipate! [Y]

We are at 398 as of this morning. Who will be the 400th to register? Do it today.

[John_Ylinen]

MILESTONE: We reach over 400 registration for M12 today. Only a few more days before the Party Begins.
