<HTML>Hi list, There has been much talk about the lack of compensation for instructors,and funding in general.I for one am willing to up the dues,or whatever is needed to keep the level of our conventions up to standard,or raise it by giving more incentives to future instructors.Our convention price is dirt cheap for what we receive in return.The easiest way I know to fix it ,is write a check.
