The presenters are all volunteers. No one get's paid to do presentations or organize the gathering. We're organized, but we're still just a gathering of rod makers. We always need volunteers to keep it going. If you would be interested in doing a presentation at the 2015 gathering, be sure to visit with Bill Armon about it at the 2014 gathering.
