Blasphemy? Maybe not. It might mean half the effort for the national office and those hard working souls who work their volunteer hearts out, and possibly more exhibitors, better classes, more attendees, etc. Should we skip a year and give it a try ? </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">

<BR>What would this accomplish? Not having the convention every year will only benefit those who don't come every year, or less than that. I think there are enough people who want to see the convention every year that makes having it worth while.

<BR>Just my 2 cents worth.
