Re: GWAPA Proposal rough draft2 (fwd)

Sorry to jump in on this late. We went to Thermopolis, WY and couldn't 
take the laptop into the hot mineral baths. My comments don't really 
change anything, anyway.

I don't mind the local speaker/Health of the Bay talk because folks 
could extrapolate to their own areas and think/get involved.

I think that Amano could easily wear out two translators. Likewise his 
talk may need to be longer than anyone else's simply because more time 
must be allowed for translation.

I think my husband was one of the few that used the cash bar, but we 
could do without it.

I thought having both a silent and a live auction at the same time was 
confusing.

I see nothing in the budget about mailing registration flyers to AGA 
members, only to pet shops. Their call, but based on the number of 
people who prefer to mail me a check rather than pay online for 
membership, I think this is a mistake.

I'm very pleased to see all of this stuff being thought of so far in 
advance. While the Dallas organizers did a bang-up job, I got the 
feeling that much of the "planning" was really "seat of your pants" 
and "the person with the biggest mouth gets put in charge." Since we 
had no template to follow and folks used good sense, it worked. Now we 
have created the template and I feel much more comfortable abut the 
planning. Or maybe I'm just relieved that I don't have to do any of 
it. :-)
