[AGA-sc] Re: Fwd: Re: [AGA-Member] AGA2K4 Refunds

Fyi, Larry had some comments. I think they make sense. 
Refund policies ought to be clear and stated or linked to a
statement. Imo, it's just good, fair business practice.

If we want to be nice and take all comers ("leavers" is
probably more appropos), then we ought to say how nice we
are, imo.

Slightly paraphrased by me, Larry suggests:

[To which Scott adds, a small fee should be stated to deter
those without good faith.]

How long can you wait until the good air fares are gone? 
The AGA 2004 Convention is less than 3 months away. "Last minute" air fares can 
be pricey. And the Banquet and Field trip have limited capacity. Take time to 
make your plans but don't wait too long. A dozen Banquet seats were reserved in 
just the last ten days.
