I don't know of any shops around here that sell ADA products, so I'm not sure who would be offended other than a couple places out of state. I see no harm in ordering in ordering anything from Tony and would be seriously disappointed if the board wouldn't allow him to come do a short presentation. Is there a problem with not ordering stuff from Aqua Forest in SF and paying shipping? This is ridiculous!

Hi Susan,
I think that we should look at this from all points of view. Iâm concerned that this might not be an idea that our long term member / sponsor stores would appreciate. If we let one retailer (member or not) attend a meeting to present products and take orders, shouldnât we let all of them do the same? If I was a long time sponsor or the club, what would my reaction be?
I am aware of this individual; he has posted the ADA product on Craigslist several times. I believe that Kypros, one of members, has also purchased from him in the past. I have invited him to meetings in the past (via e-mail) although I do not believe he has attended. My initial reaction is that he is certainly welcome to attend our meetings and join, but not to invite him to attend to present products or solicit orders.

Mark Dorwood called me yesterday to tell me about Tony, who retails ADA products. No shipping! Perhaps Tony can come bring some ADA stuff to the last meeting and take orders? He might even be able to come Tuesday with a product list. What does the board think?
