I know you're all getting ready to put on your OshKosh Bib overalls and steel-toed Wolverines and warm up the John Deere to begin the pumpkin harvest and then turnover the fields so they will be ready for planting again when the spring thaw arrives. And you just got started, finally, on that household repair that you've been "planning" getting around to for four or five years. Nonetheless, it's time again to start thinking about producing an AGA convention. By our own standards, "We recommended that a draft proposal, including at least the names of the committee heads, anticipated location and date, and possible speakers, be submitted not later than 12 months before the proposed Convention start date." Assuming we would have the 2008
convention again in November, well, you do the math.
So start thinking up places, potential speakers, tasks you've been aching to undertake, folks that we can bring on board to be part of the production crew, trying to remember who the heck has the convention banner, begin political maneuvering to not [backspace backspace backspace] get appointed as convention chair, and start writing up that crib sheet of all the reasons why you can't do this that or the other convention chore (maybe you have one left over from the last time you got a jury-duty notice).
