I think they did the big check joke at Kiwanis Club lat year ;-) . But 
seriously:
 
Pros of having clubs issue prizes directly:
 
I don't have to take custody of the money
I don't have to write any checks, look up addresses, mail prizes.
 
Cons of having clubs issue prizes directly:
Someone has to follow up to ensure the prizes were delivered -- delivery is a 
lot less assured than you might think, for a while lot of reasons. And most 
winners won't be at convention so I'll have to mail most prizes anyway.
 
I like having to do less, but I prefer having some control over whether we live 
up to our responsibilities.
 
So If an my sponsor wants to make a big to do the Convention, more power to 
them -- fake giant check, slot machine spilling fake dollars, whatever. A brid 
coming down with a sign showing the secret word. . . whatever. Hwowever, 
generally, I'd rather I handled the actual prizes -- I'd like to have the 
checks before hand so I know that they will be delivered timely -- I'd rather 
have to bird dog me than someone else -- besides I only have to keep after one 
person and all the stuff goes out at the same time.
 
Also note that I hadn't planned on writing prize checks *at* the convention.
 

Whattaya think?

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Now I remember. DFWAPC wants to present 
the prize to their winner at the convention. Actually, they were joking 
about making a really big check, like for the Publishers Clearinghouse 
Sweepstakes. THAT would be funny.

So can they present their prize at the convention?

Or maybe we can come up with an alternative or all the clubs. Man, with 
such support coming our way, we REALLY need to give a little back in 
terms of making nice-nice and publicity.
