Re: [AGA-Contest] A word or Awards

["Bailin Shaw" <bailin_shaw@hotmail.com>]

Sorry about being incognito the past several days.  Been on vacation in the 
mountains where there's no internet service or TV.  It's a weird feeling 
being completely unplugged for a weekend.  Not altogether bad.

Anyway, I'm in agreement that we only mention the prizes on the website.  
I'm going to send out some posts today asking for people to help with the 
advertising.  I'll be sure to hit up some of the clubs with a personal 
message to solicit volunteers.  We need to get some people to take on some 
of the duties and I haven't heard from anyone yet.  :-(

Are we in agreement that only the website should state the awards?  (No 
prizes.  ;-))  It will ensure that the information isn't misrepresented to 
someone and prevent issues from creeping up at a later date.
