RE: [AGA-Contest] Sponsors

IMO yes indeed. That is why I proposed the idea to Erik, to get exposure for
DFWAPC and at the same time, it helps the AGA. 

I have to do some reeling in here. I proposed the idea on behalf of DFWAPC
and we were the first to offer cash/prize/whatever. We already know what the
market will bear from the non-profit plant organizations because has alreasy
been stated. I have to insist that we the DFWAPC have the first choice of
where we are in the showcase sponsorship. We can try to match any price set
by commercial entities. Milk the commercial people for all they are worth
but let us not forget how we got into this discussion in the first place.

I am not trying to start a pissing match or flame. I am just trying to make
sure that DFWAPC's initial offer of goodwill, cooperation and generosity is
not cast aside because all of a sudden we have discovered there is money to
be made.

But isn't this is going to be more like buying a web ad
than having a table in front of in-the-flesh folks.
