As far as a Betta show in Seattle goes, we'd need help securing a show site.
Maybe the hall you foks meet at? Referrals to other possibilities? We could
take it from there. It would'nt have to be a co-hosted event but this is
another possibility. I appreciate your forwarding the info on and presenting
a grass roots idea to the GSAS board.
  Thanks again for your time and attention Erik. Hope to see you and Kathy
if you can make it.

  David.
