Re: [AGA-mcm] We're Rolling!

Well, The plnt clubs are newer and probably less well organized. The older genreal clubs have been around for years, have a track record for putting together events, and often have a "standing" annual event committee. With these older organizations, I don't think you'd see the fall-off we had with GWAPA. They simply had no idea what they were getting into.

Absolutely. And I think it's something we can't avoid if we
want to be organized about things.

I do still have angst about early commitments -- how does a
chairperson hold a volunteer team together for over a year?
I can see a tight group like DFWAPC doing it but a lot of
clubs are looser, no? Anyway, time will tell.

dedicated AGA convention in a specific year, we can
always tag onto another
convention.

It's dead easy with NEC, because they already give us our
own meeting space
and time, and bring in a top plant speaker.  So we don't
pay for a thing.
Because of the DFW group, we're getting something going
at ACA.  But if
these events were advertised earlier as "official" AGA
events, rather than
just a "pick up game", they would be an opportunity for
all members to
participate, rather than just those in the know.  We
don't want to steal
fire (or participation) from a dedicated AGA event, but
in off years, there
are other good alternatives.
