I will take this to our board about the profits idea. And we would
definately be interested in putting something together for 2004. I think
with the extra time we could put together quite a show. Maybe the biggest
one yet. Let me know if the AGA would like to still see a proposal and when
for 2004. The board  has asked me to put together a rough draft of what WE
would need to do for putting on this event. I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks.

Maybe we'll try for 2004 or 2005. The biggest concern was what is in it for
C.A.S.??? You had mentioned that you guys wanted to take 100% of the plant
auction profits and we don't have enough people for our own auction, we're a
rebuilding club, with only 70 memebrs. We'd love to work with the AGA in the
future, but right now plants are NOT a hot topic in Northeast ohio. This is
something we'd like to change. So let me know what happens in the future and
i'll be in contact. Thanks.
