Default not so fast my friends

no disrespect intended, all the places sound nice if u make some big dough, we dont really have to have it near canton do we ,what about a small town where there is alot of people , in the midwest where football is god, somewhere like elkhart ind. or some place like that, its not far from the college football hall of fame and im sure hotels are nice but inexpensive,just a thought from a tax payer.

Default Reg, Ken A. and Dre'

I'm with you guys on the E-suites. I just don't want to come back here and see post that we tried to exclude anyone. I don't care if it's in Pocomoke, or the Grand Canyon just as long as WE (MFCA) have a venue/event that all have the possibility to come too. I know I'm going to be there for it. Let's lock down some dates first and start from there. Lets not look at it as us having a year, but more like 4 months. This allows folks 8 months to get the money and travel plans and whatever needed squared away for the event.

Default This is where I will...

step back on.

I will leave the places up to the Greg Hardmons, Ken Allens, Mike Robertsons and MFCAs and any others who want to voice an opinion on where but I just don't want a guy like FrustratedFinsFan to feel they are being overlooked when I know, things like that can make people walk away from the game or the association.

Some guys had expressed an interest in other parts of the country and people should always be open to change if it is for a worthy cause, that's all.

Much to do, much to do....I have already had some volunteers jump on asking to help next year! We will nail this down in a very short time. Keep the input coming. This IS YOUR convention! We want to provide the best experience possible, with the least amount of cost and hassle.

As I said earlier, we may in the future, move around. This takes more growth and funds. Unfortunately, $$$ as much as we hate the hold they have on us do play into how much we can do. We are a 501c7 non profit and are not allowed to have a huge profit. That only gives us X amount of dollars to draw from. Keep in mind, memberships and donations are the only "real" product we offer. Without those, there can be no convention. With growth, we may some day be able to offer 2 conventions, East and West or North and South, but we are still a young association and there will be growing pains in the process. We can't accomodate everything financially yet. Some day maybe!

The Stearn Center gave us a VERY economical option (easily a third of the amount we would have paid at a hotel) especially in a strapped economy. It also offered things for the kids to do like basketball, ping pong and pool and the right hotel can also offer similar options. It wasn't perfect, (Tim Young snores like a locomotive ) but now we know what we have there and things like WiFi and hotel accomodations can be explored and solved easily before next year.

Default Lynn info

Lynn give me a PM with your number. I have a co-worker whom is a Travel consultant with his own travel agency. I'll have him to contact you for what's needed ie. how many days, rooms and size of the conference area needed. Example the last Brawl most were paying $99 a night. He got mine at $69 a night same hotel. LMK

Default A MONTH FROM NOW MAY BE TOO LATE.

wolf and company ,

A month may be too late. I know the pedal is to the medal right now. Let the board of directors decide on some dates while they are being formed.

2010 looks like

WEDNSDAY (AUG 4TH)

TO

SUNDAY (AUG 8TH) HALL OF FAME GAME (COWBOYS VS 49ER'S)

**CHECK OUT MON MORNING

OFCOURSE MFCA START WOULD BE THURS (AUG 5TH) IF THE BOARD DECIDES TO START A DAY EARLY!!!!!

THANX

Can we name it the WEIRDWOLF RITZ? That way I can fulfill my secret agenda towards fame and fortune.
