Members of the Post Building Committee met in Houston
with several design and build general contractors in early December
to arrive at concept plans for the Post Home. We retained a land-planning
firm to lay out the footprint to maximize our capability on the
property. On 29 January we received sets of landscape plans with
several options for the footprint for the building and these were
reviewed and the footprint that optimized the building and the use
of land was chosen. We had several elevation plans for the building,
and the best selection was presented at the March N. TX meeting
and will be available in France to go on to Dhaharan. A copy of
the proposed elevations will be at future Post meetings and should
soon be available on the web page. The next step will be to finish
raising the balance that we need to build it, then make it happen.
Updates as they occur!

THE SEVEN CONTINENTS
CLUB
(Only CP1 members eligible)
Honorary memberships available
In 1979 Dr Gale Raymond held the
first (that I could find in the records) recorded China Post meeting
at the North Pole. Since then we have expanded to cover over 59
countries and all 50 States as well as all of the Territories of
the US. On the 21st of January 2002, CP member, Deputy Secretary
of Defense, the Honorable Craig Duehring flew Post Flags that Senator
Goldwater had flown for the Post, as well as Watering Hole Banners
over the South Pole. Concurrent on that date, Post members met on
all the other 6 Continents giving us the unique (never to be surpassed)
ability to start the "Seven Continents Club" as a distinction
available to 2002 CP members. We are in the process of designing
a Certificate to mark this event and will establish the process
of distribution in the near future. [Its already here!] If there
was ever a doubt, we truly earned the sobriquet "Worldwide"
on our letterhead. We need to raise another $400,000 to build our
building. Part of the solution will be to request corporate and
foundation money, the other is to sell 4,000 Seven Continent Club
certificates at $100 each. We will be making several presentations
at the National AL Convention to salt the mine and see how far his
takes us.
