I came to 5 meetings, gave a lecture on federalism and volunteered to be database administator. One day I'm notified that I'm the new district captain, and I need to make contact with someone who is the state leader. How he got to be state leader I don't know.
It's similar to a passenger rail advocacy group I joined in '97. Six months later I'm on the board, and a year after that I'm the president. It's kind of an ad hoc thing.
Now you are part of the Establishment subject to attacks from every angle.
So who did the notifying and how do you get the Notifiers job?
