I like "Mini-convention" with or without the hyphen. It lowers expectations while still conveying the notion that people are getting together. But we could have something totally new: not a seminar, not a club meeting, not a convention, but a Plant-o-rama --- wait, the scouts have that one. How about Plant Festivus-- we can get an aluminum pole and each attendee takes a turn saying what for about the negative posts during the last year --- hmmmm, copyright issues there. Or how about this, at the agency where I work, all meetings of the Board of Commissioners must be in public. So when they wanted to have quieter seesions, they had "Gatherings of the Commissioners before the meeting". So how about "A Gathering of the Membership" -- sounds almost religious, eh? sh --- Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@rightstuffwebsites.com> wrote: > Call it an Unconvention. > > Cheryl > > Larry Lampert wrote: > > > > > I believe we can counteract some of this negative > > momentum with a strong forum introduction and whatever > > we are going to call this "NON-AGA" thing....if it > > does work out. > _______________________________________________ AGA-mcm mailing list AGA-mcm@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-mcm
