Cream-- WHAT? Volunteering is not an option for you or most alumnae??? There is something for EVERYONE in the new volunteer structure. There are positions that take a few hours a day, a few hours a week or a few hours a year. You don't have to go to Convention if you are a volunteer. And on occasion, Convention costs are subsidized for volunteers (not always).
I too have always wondered why we have Conventions so far away from our base. The answers I have received are: our collegians don't want to just have a Convention in their city-- they want to go somewhere fun AND it is extremely expensive to have a Convention in the NE compared with other parts of the country. When they pick Convention sites, it is based on bids and where we can get the best deals. But I will also say that it looks like (from my inside sources) the next Convention after San Antonio may return to the NE if we can find an inexpensive site.
That's my 26 cents!
