I have been poking around a couple forums today (aquaticplantcentral.com and plantedtank.net) and am a little bummed to find NO announcements of the convention at all. The closest I found was one arbitrary "are you going to the AGA convention?" post, which I have replied to. A lot of people just don't know this convention is happening. You, the AGA membership, can really help here: Post an announcement on those forums and lists you frequent. Put a banner on your website. Post in local club forums and mailing lists, especially on the west coast. It'll probably be a while before we have another convention on this coast. My spouse was poking around on the airline websites and found some cheap fares to San Francisco and Oakland. Especially, get the word out that the hotel rooms need to be booked by September 9th (a little over a week away!) to get the special AGA group rate. Thanks, and see you in November! - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ AGA-Member mailing list AGA-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-member
