Re: [AGA-mcm] Fw: 2008 DVD

Having lived in St. Louis, it would be on the top of my list to host a convention.  I absolutely loved the town and it had a ton of activities that could be great for families that tag along.  I thought we were thinking of Florida for spring of 2010?  Is that still a possibility or do we think St. Louis might be a better option.

Speaking of the Convention DVD, that reminds me.  My local club, the Missouri Aquarium Society, Inc. (MASI) is interested in hosting an AGA convention or helping the AGA to put one on here in St. Louis.  We were thinking of 2010 or 2012.  Is there any interest in hosting one here in the middle of the US? 

 

Along with a good sized local club heavily into aquatic plants and planted tanks, we have a large number of active hobbyists who are also active volunteers and we have a sound treasury.  We have cheap(er) flights from either coast and one day driving distance for nearly 40% of the US population, we've got one of the top zoos in the country (and it's free!) one of the top botanical gardens in the world, and many other interesting things to do....plus a choice of very nice convention hotels close to the airport and major interstate highways that have hosted aquatic conventions before (ACA - 3 x, AKA - 2 x, IFGA and IBC once each).
