I'll keep records of what I sell to who (just in case someone wants to get a Christmas gift for someone else) and payment method, keeping my funds separate from all registration funds. I will bring a ziplock bag for cash and some change. T-shirts are $15, cash or check only. No sales tax ( a very big thanks to all who worked on that question!)
I can be available to sell T-shirts there through Prime Time for check-ins (whenever that is, Thursday night, Friday morning?). After the convention is rolling, I'll leave the display and a sign stating what remaining hours I'll be there for sales, or if I've moved to the hospitality suite (if that is OK, seems like a fun place to park myself and my bag of shirts in the evening.)
I will be at the hotel starting Tuesday as I plan to be sightseeing during the day but typically I'll be back in the hotel after dark so if anyone needs help bagging plants, bundling TAG issues for auction sets, or a sparkling dinner companion, I'm available.

The host club as part of their representing the national organization provides a table. It is typically manned by the national club members but is given a premium placement ie. rigt next to convention registration table to ensure everyone who attends the conference sees it. This is where books, back issues of magazines ie TAG, and T-shirts, etc are sold. There is also a membership person there to sign folks up or at least educate them on what the national organiztion does and what benefits membership provides. Regards, Larry --- Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com> wrote:Speaking of the convention, I know the ACA does a table, separate from the local club to sell memberships, have ACA info, ACA book sales etc etc. The ACA I believe gets this table for free/part of cooperation with the local club (Larry may know more details on this one). Does the AGA want to do that?? I know the problem is manning it, usually we are all running around helping run the convention (and this year I will be running after a 10 mo old) I know we talked about T Shirts sales, not sure what ever happened with that. I don't want to offend GWAPA in any way, I know this is a joint adventure and that the success of the general convention is by far EVERYONE"S PRIORITY. Since it came up about where Ann would sell shirts and was never finally decided on, I figured I would toss this out. I think the ACA's is in a hall not to take up vendor room space etc. Now, GWAPA folks if this in anyway bothers you make sure you let us know too. I see conventions as ways to promote the plant hobby, the AGA, the hosting club and hopefully make enough money to break even and maybe bring in extra for both organizations so they can both do cool stuff for there members.
