[AGA SC] AGA2K4 movement

Boy! Am I behind or what.

Rick got a new deal from Marriot, which i ought to have in
hand (well, on disk) soon and I'll send a summary and post
the file tomorrow.

Apparently, they have gotten the maximum liability (last
month cancellation) down to $10,000.  We had $6,000 or
$8,000 in the Dallas deal and the Sheraton is down to
$8,000.

But here is food for thought. GWAPA had a meeting and they
agreed that they liked the Marriot facilities better and
though the deal was better overall. They, like Larry and I,
have a nagging feeling that Sheraton just won't be in the
box when it's time to bat.

I was supposed to go over the last Sheraton offer in detail
long before now and I haven't done that yet. Tommorow, I
plan to do both of them.

I know everyone thinks we're way ahead of the game on
timing but it's important to keep up the momentum in the
GWAPA membership. So the quicker we can all respond and get
a suitable hotel deal closed, the better.  Of course, at
this point, you're waiting on me.

Point of interest. GWAPA thinks they can cover $4,000 of
the $10,000 cancellation liability so that's what they are
proposing. To cover any more one of them would have to
underwrite with personal funds. Certainly, we all expect to
have an event and not cancel. I advised that someone might
suggest that the percentage should change if the risk
shifts but they don't want the percentage to change unless
AGA does more of the work. So you folks can chew on that
while I take get my act together down here.
