I think it's great that our VP posed the question to the cyber chippers. Especially after all uproar about the use of boards for club info. She made an attempt to engage us in our "medium". I think it is just an informal survey, to possibly see if there are some issues that they may not have thought of. And certainly no one expects that the limited number of cyber chippers will determine the outcome on behalf of all the membership. That's the boards job. That's what we elect them for. I don't expect to have a "vote" on where or when the next convention is. Just from the posts on the subject, you can see that everyone has different factors(cost, dates, heat) that are important to them. We elected the board to make the best decision for the club as a whole. Then each of us will determine whether we can attend or not, just like every year. C.T., I think your comments are poorly phrased. You raised a point about concerns of dealers with the Sun date, but by your unnecessarily hostile tone you detract from your point. Thanks for asking, Janice. (P.S.-though why didn't you post on the club board?,vbg>) Mike
