Re: [AGA-mcm] Convention 2005

[Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com>]

I am in the loop...just real quiet :-). I am very busy
with both work and helping out with this year's ACA
convention. On top of that my wife is a Tax CPA, so I
am also playing Mr. Mom for three little ones until
April 15.

I have not been replying just because I have agreed
with everything said by Karen, Scott, Erik and Phil
regarding the location/cost and communications between
us and them. $120 is high and I am concerned that they
are already spending their time looking around without
completely understanding the dynamics of what they
should be looking for. And yes, I also want to
know...who is really running this thing. 

I am happy to help them in whatever way I can, ie
reviewing contracts, hotel negotatiations, and general
advice although my time is going to be somewhat
limited until the ACA in July.


Regards,
Larry
