To give dates, we need to know that the Board is comfortable enough with the way hotel negotiations are going to feel that the deal is solid, that we're going with GWAPA, the hotel, and the dates. How I'm seeing it, when we find out how the hotel responded to our proposed changes, we might have that level of comfort. Still, I think we ought to be able to tease something in any event. Heck, maybe having pepople wonder about *which* dates in Nov is a good way to get people thinking about the convention early -- a real tease. sh --- Karen Randall <krandall@rdrcpa.biz> wrote: > I'm good to go with whatever you guys decide.
