The trip to the Amazon (end of Jan beginning of Feb)
notwithstanding, I offer, as always, my "talents" (stop
laughing Cheryl) for treasury, cash management and budget
preparation and performance monitoring.
Btw, I don't do sales (to vendors or other hobbyists).
That's not a proscription, it's a report -- I'm simply not
very good at it. I don't do windows (well) either but I'm
hoping that won't come up.
You have a solid 4 people willing to undertake more work
than they think they would be agreeing to undertake? I'm
not trying to be cute -- the commitment, as you have seen,
needs to be to what will eventually seem like more than was
bargained for :-O Just ask, for example, the guy that did
vendor solicitations this year and he'll probably give you
an earful. 4 is probably not enough so I would focus on
getting a very good assessment of the core resources.
I'd send you a Requirements and Guideline document but I
thinkyou already have the existing doc and, clearly, it
will be updated with more *stuff*. But if you need another
copy of the to-be-revised version, let me know.
Comment: I'm inclined to think you need to add a
nonlocal/well-known figure to help the draw, although I
have no suggestions along those lines. But Erik, Larry,
Karen, et alia can give a more experienced view.

Hey folks,
The Charlotte Area Aquarists Society (hopefully with help
from Carolina
Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts) is interested in hosting the
'05 convention.
We're going to be discussing the possibility at our Dec.
4th meeting and I'd
like some feedback from everyone here. We've got a lot
of folks between the
two groups, with a core of about 4-6 really dedicated
folks in CLT. My
question to y'all is how involved in the organization is
the AGA willing to
get? Ideally I would love to see an AGA representative
involved
hand-in-hand with the committee chairs/members here in
town. This is still
in the "seriously considering it" phase, but if the AGA
were to get strongly
involved in the organization from the start it would go a
long way towards
getting to the "we're willing to do it" stage.
Ideas for things so far.
Theme: Gone Native, a look at things around you.
Speakers: Native aquatic and wetland plant and fish
specialists from area
universities
Field Trip: Local botanical gardens, visits to local
urban wetlands,
possibly state park wetland
Thoughts, comments, concerns, offers? :)
