Bill,
I think the banquet is the one event that brings everybody together at
the convention. I really like it, but would have truely like this
year's
to be about 1 1/2 hour shorter.
I for one wouldn't want to have to go out to eat after a long, hot day.
Being able to take a shower, cool off, take a nap and then go eat at the
banquet appeals to me. Just my opinion.
I agree 100% about letting participant know if the pool part is snack
food or a meal. The members of the TCOC had found a local resturant,
Mexican, pigged out, only to come to the party to find--Mexican food!
Didn't touch a thing; too full.
Just checked TripMaker. Only 1088 miles from Greensboro to Winona. 70
less than to Ft. Worth. Think I'll sleep in an extra hour... HA!
