Re: [AGA-mcm] [Fwd: Re: AGA Convention]

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

It was 60 buck for registration for months and months and
anyone that had to paid 80 didn't try to avoid the 20 late
fee. I don't see why he should whine about *that*.

But I was told Gwapa membership counted for convention reg
purposes. I recall hearing this from AGA and GWAPA folks.

I belive it was the same last year for DFWAPC. Those folks
paid for AGA because they already had AGA membership,
wanted it, or were just chipping-in to the cause.
