We did this the first year -- actually had them on a rotating monitor 
display in the vendor room.

I think when you show them just how few "prizes" this can involve, and 
that they may actually attract more sponsors with the "two-event" 
approach, then everyone could be happy.

More than that, previous years it was the week BEFORE this.  We moved it 
back one week because Christel couldn't make it.  I know this was trouble 
to some folks, especially Dorothy, as every fall week means greater chance 
of being snowed in!

Most excellent.  I think you're already our official liaison.  There is NO 
reason we all cannot have dual roles, for instance, me handling A/V if 
they'll have me... it helps makes the AGA management seem less of "them" 
and more of "us" to the host club.

I think Larry has it in storage.  I remember that was one of the things we 
took down last on the way out.
