I haven't replied before so hope this works-I emailed some of you privately but my feelings are that the event is going to be a yearly event and our "summit" meeting every year so I would like the consistency of calling it the same thing every year. People won't be discouraged by the title, I think it is more interesting anyway. We can't discourage any of those foreign guys if they choose to come ahead this year now can we! What if they decide on their own to come on down? Using the same title yearly lets everyone know that it is our organization putting this on yearly for everyone's knowledge and benefit.
