Re: some bid information (fwd)

Some very positive news.  I've told Larry that we'll have a final document 
for him as soon as it's reviewed, and also that we're negotiable on the 
%risk thing.  (I've also told him that last year's convention almost broke 
even & that I'm SURE they would do better.)

Hi Erik,

I hope things are well with you guys. I wanted to give you a quick update
on where we are at. I have proposed a formal bid effort to host the AGA to
our club and it was voted in favor of. I have a number of people who are
willing to help out and even have formed a basic list of committees. We
are ready to take the next step but are not exactly sure how this will
happen.

I have also looked into how the ACA is done the risk reward split. It is
my understanding that it is usually a 50/50 proposition. Our club is
willing to donate an immense amount of time and energy however we are only
about 2 years old and only have a few hundred in the bank after expenses.
We are not interested in hosting the AGA to raise revenues. We are
interested in doing it for the AGA and even more importantly for the
growth of the hobby. We certainly think that there should be some type of
sharing of both risk and reward to incentivise a well run convention but
we are only comfortable risking what we have not what we project we will
have.

I have a hotel in mind that is within 10 minutes of DFW Airport. I am
ready to look at dates but I wanted to talk it over with you before we go
any further. Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Larry Lampert

PS. I will be on the ACA chat tonight if you have time.
