Re: Fwd: RE: Next year's AGA convention.

["Karen Randall" <krandall@world.std.com>]

Hi All,

Obviously it would be ideal if we could move the convention around the
country so that more people would have the chance to attend in their local
areas. OTOH, a willing crew of workers is essential to the success of a
convention, and sometimes that need will overide considerations of location.
We had the convention twice in a row in Chattanooga for that reason.  Dallas
and Houston are in the same state, but it's a pretty big state!  We're not
even talking about the same city.

While I agree, we should get the bid sheets done, and as for bids from all
areas of the country if we can, I would have no objection at all if it turns
out that Dallas is the best opportunity for next year!

Karen

if you need an active club that's up for the event, we can help you out here

same state for the convention, but we wanted to make the offer.
