15,20 years ago, I don't remember - spouses were sitting in the lobby, then they noticed that many of them had brought fabrics crafts to pass the time and they gravitated to each other, moved chairs took over space. Became a "tradition", comments were made to husbands, some of whom were on the EB or the Host Chapter, and we started to include a small conference room for the purpose. Some facilities included soda, coffee, water which was nice. Be a shame if we somehow lost that.

Check what ATM cards are accepted at the convention center and have one so you can go replenish your cash.

Good observation and response.

Oh, no, not another. I worked with Clare on the Reviewer Corps for many years and chatted with him at many Conventions. This is tough to take, right after Jim Pearsall.

OK, Gil, thanks - that clears it up.

Look good, Gil. On the doors, are the 4 molding pcs (t,b,r,l) just glued to the plex and the hinges on the outside of them and the cabinet? Thanks, John R

Good work, Gil !!

Office Manager running behind due to Nationals and moving. Mine was about 5 weeks old when I emailed her, got a response in day or so and my card a few days after that.

Great job, Jim - Thanks !!

Good job, Ron. Your extra effort really makes this old kit shine.

Since we are on the survey, the voting form requires a selection of 123 or GSB else it will not let me vote for board candidates. Shouldn't there be an Abstain or Don't Care or Neither option on the survey ?

I and one of my friends separately made reservations this morning at the Marriott from the links provided w/o problem from inside Hurricane Florence - how hard can it be ?

Eric, I inserted replies at the >>> Yeah, I might have duplicated topics... been one of those weeks... >>> Know that one ... Email both of us, just in case... I don't think I've ever seen a Fact Sheet, so I don't know what info is on it. I've added more info to the Chapter web pages over the years and I doubt its on the sheet. >>> Thanks Eric, I will - I need to get clear of the week so I don't cause confusion because it's date sensitive, so it'll be next week, after the 21st. I have thought about providing access to the CC's to their Club pages... at the moment, I have a function that emails all the CC's to get them to update the page info. It's reasonably successful but I don't get replies from everyone. My concern is that instead of the DLC and I having to manage the pages, we'll end up managing the CC accounts and any Club pages where the CC does not want to do so.. >>> Yeah, I understand that, but we always keep working to the lowest common denominator - those that can't/won't/don't ... It is doable but it's not something I'm going to tackle without significant fraction of the parties involved on board... >>> If one takes our member voting record as an indicator, then it'll never happen -- and the ones who could/would are left with noting and you & DLC are stuck with it. I'm not sure why the Fact Sheet isn't online also -- then maybe we can make both systems work easier .... >> When I send you my corrections, I'll send you my chapter Fact Sheet from last year, as a sample ....

I thought we had a thread on this under News & Announcements in late June - why not merge into one, ? I have updates to our info, but it won't happen for a week or so. I'll email who -- you, Eric, or the DLC ? If the Fact Sheet doesn't update this, then we need to sort it out. I am not sure why Chapter Contacts, who are generally responsible to communicate between national & the members cannot be given the tools/permissions to make the updates online and have that feed/inform the officers as necessary. We're doing this backwards, wasting the Webmaster's time and the DLC's time being secretaries, and our time also because we have to not only submit changes but then watch to see if made (correctly).

I thought that our annual renewal was supposed to update this info - I can see that it plainly does not. We also need a FAQ on how to fill things out so the computer can understand them. For example, we meet 3rd Saturday every month - do I have to list each date?
