If you want the cutoff to be July 1st, perhaps this is one of those times a special notice should be sent out to all members?

We can do that if we all agree on July 1st. It was only a suggestion on my part.

Is That A Decision For The Board To Set The Deadline For July 1st Or Would That Consist Of A Notice On The Home Page Or By Vast E-mail?

No that was not from the board it was a suggestion asking for inputs from everyone whether they agreed with it or not. That was coming from me and not the board.

:eek: i guess i wrote that wrong i wanted to ask if the board was going to make the decision or if it was up to the community. but now i got my answer. so i will say "in favor". i still would like to see other coin ideas come in though.:)

Oh, a cutout coin. Very nice!

EMS Danel : "You can get there from here"... people LOVE an inside joke. I think it would be a good selling point.

I know this is what we wanted, brdad, but at least this forum thread has been in the newsletter under Hot Topics consistantly. Hopefully people will read the thread.:) We can only lead them to the door so much, they have to walk through it.:rolleyes:

haha! that's what we should have named the geocaching newsletter!:p

in favor of July 1st

I also vote for the July 1st drop dead date. The circle coin with the cut-out of Maine is cool and I'd like to see that done. No matter what part of the world you are from you will identify that this is the "Maine" coin. I still love the cabin/winter caching in Maine scene (that is soooo Maine) which could go on one side and the multiple scenes...fly fishing, skiing, etc. on the other. My four cents worth....

I have kept my nose out of most of this. I am an artist and will submit ideas for next years coin (if there is one) But I wanted to "keep my mouth shut" and just watch the process this year. I like all the designs, but hide_from_the_kids' coin idea seems to be well thought out and has the kind of uniqueness we are all looking for. and July 1st is great.
