Here is an insightful reply from Larry Lampert! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 20:58:51 -0800 (PST) From: Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com> To: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> Subject: Re: some bid information Erik, I appreciate you getting this info to me so quickly. This is a great start for our club to get a feel for the scope of this committment. I think we can do this as do the board members I have spoken to. After I have a concensus to officially move forward I am going to get in touch with you and Scott. We would like to move quickly either way so this will happen within the week. The ACA splits tboth risk and reward for the local club. I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head but I will get them. As you may be aware the TCA has been seriuosly considering hosting another ACA so I am already somewhat prepared for what needs to be done and versed on the advantages and the challenges that the DFW area will present to hosting a national caliber aquarium related convention. Whether our club is successful in getting the bid or not I am interested in helping out in this year's convention. However, I will say that we have a pretty solid core group of folks and I am confident the TCA people will give me some backup on ideas , contacts and manpower if we need it. I think our strength is in our members and organization skills.
