Bailin, thanks. Sounds good. You're right, we need to get organized here. FYI, some of the personal contacts that I had were because of current or past advertising with TAG. That's how we got a ZooMed ad in the 2008 convention program, for example. No reason that information shouldn't be in the master list, for crying out loud.
How about you send Erik the list you have now, let him sanitize it and send it on. I don't think we need to maintain separate lists for other folks.
Phil may have some input here as well because he is the official AGA Chief Moocher.

Hi Erik,
I think I have the most recent list of vendors, but it wasn't complete and had a lot of holes. As I recall, I wanted to take this time in between conventions to revise the list and put contacts in that we might not have and remove others that we don't think are approachable anymore. Cheryl had names of people who she was in contact with at the various vendors like Zoomed and FAN and I didn't have those names. Emails to just a general location didn't get many responses this year, but I know that others had person contact with vendors that got much better responses.
Let me dig through my computer to see if I can locate the most recent list and maybe we can start the revision process now. I'd be happy to keep track of it. As another thought, there are stores in each state that might be willing to make small contributions to the AGA, but there is no way for us to keep track of them. Perhaps we can put an email out the members of AGA to contact their stores and approach them about future support? We can get names of the stores, owners, and the AGA point of contact onto a master list before the next convention. Thoughts?
