With 2000 attendees for church group, I presumed they would use about as much space as a PTG convention. I will admit that it was a guess. So the number might not be real. But I wanted to point out that the registration fee was $200 for 2000 people. Why would it be that high, if not to pay for space the university is renting? That is the point I was trying to make. That is something most people do not think about when they say a university would be a good place. Someone mentioned that space in a hotel isn't "free." They are right. That is why we paid $123 per night in Chicago, (including tax). But the university space isn't free either. Dorm rooms are inexpensive compared to what a hotel charges. Quite frankly, I graduated 30 years ago, and I don't want to live in a dorm again. I am willing to spend a little extra for the privacy, and service. I would agree that there are people who are willing to sacrifice this, in exchange for a cheap dorm room. But I am with Jim Baker. If there would be a vote, I would vote for a hotel. I've worked hard, and I've earned it. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
