<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Dear (Sirs)
<BR> I have worked at the convention for the past 2 years, and you do not
<BR>know the particulars on what the Institute committee has to work with. From
<BR>the Hotel not holding rooms available for storage, to booking other events on
<BR>top of PTGs, dealing with unions, security people that have no idea what is
<BR>going on, not having 2 dock doors open at the same time and they do not get
<BR>to negotiate the contract. Before you or anyone else runs something down,
<BR>maybe you should know the real story on what the IC has to deal with.
<BR> The only attitudes that I have seen are open minded and willing to try
<BR>anything that is possible to make the convention better. They start at 5:00
<BR>AM and some of the last moves are at midnight. They volunteer to do this and
<BR>spend countless hours
<BR>from when the last convention ends and the next one starts. And if you don,t
<BR>belive this, I am sure the IC would dearly love for you or anyone else to
<BR>come and spend the day with them.
