Going to GA?

[GammaZeta]

"I just wonder over all how much this is going to cost?

It looks nice to be in nice digs but is it worth it?

I would like to see us in less upscale places and use the money spent for many other thing:
ELC visits, expansion, to just name two."

I wonder how much it costs as well. How much is HQ kicking in compared to dues, fees, etc., to attend?

Again, I think this information should be readily available to all brothers. Can anyone get a figure for us?

We tried holding General Assembly at a Super 8 Motel once, but it was a little tight getting 600 brothers into one guest room, and the 7-11 over by the exit ramp ran out of ham & cheese sandwiches.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Finding a location for GA is tougher than you think. We need a venue for perhaps 700 people or so. A ballroom for formal dinners and meetings, a large theater, perhaps 6 or 7 break out rooms for 30 people apiece. Adequate hotel rooms are a must. We must hold it in a city with good transportation and a place that is in it's "low season" for better rates.

The Biltmore fits the bill and we got a super deal. Orlando really wasn't low season. Denver has hosted GA before but it likely was pricier than Phoenix because Denver really doesn't have a low season. San Francisco is out for the same reason. Chicago and KC are possibilities as is Indy. In fact, we went to Indy a couple of years ago and will be there next year for the Centennial.

John, it is funny but, when I was with the disterllery, we did uber sites!

Miami (2), Phenoix (1). San Diego(2).

But it was as tax right off! It was a for Proifit Business and not a Not For Profit GLO~!

So, did I enjoy it? Yes! Did in the overall pay for it No!

But, now I still wonder about the queastion that I asked?

Well, there seems to be no true answer?

Questions asked and not to many answered?
