RE: New Topics.. Convention

[Charlene Nash <ecn@tennis.org>]

right now there are no other possibilities. Chicago is the only one that
bothered to price out anything. The hotel there will be in the 130-150 range
per night plus some $300 and $600 set up charges for meals and meetings.
Our hotel gave us the meeting room for a fee and snacks were costly but no
set up fees, which adds to the meal costs considerably. The aquarium  last
year was fairly expensive but that was our largest expense.I am afraid the
hotel rate in Chicago may be a bit much for some people and the cost per
person of a couple of meals and conference may still be below $100 but we
need to think of paying some speaker (at least a major guest speaker)
expense money this time.(incorporated in conference fee) That's all I have
for now-need some feedback. Thanks Charlene
