They are using ticklers in their files from several years ago -- so every year they send me another salses pitch. This isn't something new from them. The original contact to me looked like a local interested in hosting and that's probably how they got a bid doc although anyone could have given them the link we have often published. In anyevent, although they have repesatedly talked about a "bid" or a "proposal" they have never sent anything more than the sales pitch such as you see below. sh ----- Original Message ---- From: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> To: Aquatic Gardeners Association Board <aga-sc@thekrib.com> Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 7:07:22 AM Subject: Re: [AGA-sc] AGA 2007 I have no problem with folks and local clubs HELPING out, but from my perspective, there's no way *I'll* be involved in another convention if the AGA is not running it. Same deal with the knoxville thing... curiousm why did we even send them the bid guidelines? I thought we were pretty clear at this point -- no local hosts from here on out. - Erik On Fri, 20 Oct 2006, Karen Randall wrote: > Luis was heavily involved with the Houston convention the first time.
