2004 License Mailers

[TiffineyIngram]

Howdy all!  The mailers should go out around Thanksgiving, so I thought I'd post all the stuff you guys already know.

You MUST wait for the official renewal mailer to renew your license.  DO NOT download the 2003 license application and cross of the 2003 and write in 2004.  We will not accept it.

When you fill out your license application, WRITE LEGIBLY.  If we can't read your writing, we will put you off until the end of the day we're working on so we can call you and figure out who you are--when it comes to numbers you don't want that to happen.

Numbers will be done the same as always: To keep your number for 2004, you must have your license application in our office by January 1st.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  After January 1, all numbers that have not been renewed are up for grabs.  If you would like to change your number, send in your license application as soon as possible after you receive the mailer.  Number changes are done after January 1 in order of first come first serve.

If you are upgraded to Expert, here are your two options:  You can either accept the upgrade and mark "expert" on your license application, or you can petition to remain an amateur for another season.  The only way to do this is to send in a letter of petition with your license application stating you want to stay amateur and why.  Marking "amateur" on your petition will not be accepted as a petition.  That will be an automatic bump up.  Once we receive your license application, we will go through all of your finishes, etc, to see if it would be appropriate to leave you as an amateur.  Not only will I check this year's upgrades, but also if you were upgraded last year.  You only get one chance to petition--after that, you are an expert.  It's the only fair thing to do.  I can not do petitions over the phone or "look into it" for you until I have your license application and petition letter in hand.

As for the guys who are already experts--you guys rock!  Just keep looking way too cool for your leathers and keep the newbies in awe.

Thank you for making this season as great as it was, and we look forward to an even greater 2004!

Are you gonna post a thread listing whos going expert like you did last year?


And how long does the petition letter have to be? One sentance suffice?

[TiffineyIngram]

Howdy Rob!  I will post the licenses that are processed every day on this board like I did last year.  I know it must have been a lot easier on y'all than calling or emailing, and it wasn't any trouble just to post it.  A petition letter should be a valid paragraph.  One sentence doesn't usually sway the judges.

Ahhhh...Swaying the judges...that's the real trick now isn't it.  

Candy and flowers worked for the first year..I suppose this year I'll have to buy you a car or something  ;)

[TiffineyIngram]

[Mark Bernard]

Gum!  ;) By the way... can i stay AM. next year?

[TiffineyIngram]

Now that I've kept dying my hair darker, shiny objects aren't as distracting as they used to be...I don't think gum will cut it this year...

Just thinking about blondes

Two factory workers were talking.  "I know how to get some time off
from work." said the man.

"How do you think you will do that?" said the blonde.

  He proceeded to show her...by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging
  upside down.  The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the
ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing?

"I'm a light bulb" answered the guy.

"I think you need some time off," said the boss.  So, the man jumped
down and walked out of the factory.

The blonde began walking out too.  The boss asked her where did she
think she was going?  "Home.  I can't work in the dark".

Ok...ok!! I was holding out. how about gum AND silly-puddy? ;) Oh.. and even if the points for me are wrong, I still dont think I have enough to get bumped.  :D
