Re: [AGA-sc] SFBAAPS bid -- half an hour a day

"Seriously, let's give them a list of specifics that
we want
by December 15: formal proposal as described in the
Reqs
doc (including proposed financial participation),
unsigned
contract and catering agreement from the hotel,
staffing
for convention from now through completion, marketing
plan
. . . anything else we specifically want and are
missing?"

The only thing I can think of is a list of speakers &
field trips, how they are planning to run the auction.
Although these are all in the formal proposal doc I
believe.
