Otherwise it could be abused to get a cheap rate at Conventions. On second thought none should be returned, look at the saving they would make on the Journal CD. ( $35 instead of $200 </BLOCKQUOTE> How about 75% of the fee, less the difference between member and non member registration at seminars attended and or products bought at the reduced rates. I know it is starting to sound complicated, but if we are that sure no one will ask for their money back, let's try it for a couple of years, and see what happens. Board members, is this something that could be put on the Council Agenda as an emergency measure? I think since the idea is fresh now, if we wait until next year, we will have forgotten all about it.
