Re: ADA/AGA?

I think what is happening is that Charlene is going out on her own on this
one. She's been courting Amano as a speaker for the convention, and his
people got back to her about their contest.  I just heard about it last
night when Charlene e-mailed me and asked if we had promo material for
their contest on the site.  I didn't know she'd talked with David
Youngker.  I think it's a little inappropriate too, but I understand where
she's coming from.  She has remarked that she gets little support from the
two committees, aside from complaints or requests, so my guess is that
she is going out on her own for speakers.
