--- Forwarded from David... remember kids, don't quote the whole digest--- The only thing I can add about Charlene is that she seemed pleased not to have all of the burden next year. Darlene Walder, who helped her with both TN conventions, is going to "download" as much info as she can from Charlene and put it together as part of the "how to do a convention" book. As for vendor relations, taking that on is much more than this treasurer can do -- so I really appreciate Kathy picking it up, and perhaps someone relieving her.
