That all sounds great!  There was a fair amount of interest in the
convention at NEC, and Gary Lange took some brochures to hand out in his
area and at ACA this summer.  I also changed our "standard" brochure to
reflect the convention and contest under "member benefits", and directed
people to the web site for information on both. (since there isn't much room
on the brochure itself)

I tried to run the convention CD in my notebook at NEC, but it's just not a
fast enough machine, and kept locking up.  So I went back to just showing
the "slide show" of tanks we used last year.

I can't see any reason not to at least ask him.  What have we got to lose?
