Hey Guys.<br>
<br>
While I'm certain this should have been done 6 weeks ago, it just wasn't<br>
and so I'm trying to at least say that everyone on the board had their say.<br>
<br>
Out of the following: Atlantic City, Bellevue, New Orleans, Oklahoma City,<br>
and Phoenix<br>
<br>
Can you let me know your single preference. We have 20 other votes<br>
tabulated and I'd love to put this to rest on the boards end so that staff<br>
has a clear direction.<br>
<br>
You're welcome to text me at <a href="tel:512-773-3968" value="+15127733968" target="_blank">512-773-3968</a><br>
<br>
Thanks much.<br>
Kevin Ludlow<br>
<br>
PS: Apologies to Mr. Redpath as I do believe you had expressed OKC earlier<br>
in the thread. I just didn't want to assume it in case I misread something.<br>

Three more trickled in over the night. There are now only 7 people who<br>
have not weighed in (though to be fair, Mr. Redpath had been previously<br>
clear about supporting OKC; I just didn't feel it was fair to assign him<br>
that since this was a new poll).<br>
<br>
And yes, I would assume OKC is a bit more expensive than Phoenix. It's not<br>
a major hub by any stretch.<br>

Mr Riemers:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I just did a quick check on Southwest Airlines.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Fares for Feb 19 and 21 from Minneapolis to Oklahoma City are as little<br>
as $280 ROUND TRIP for a 1pm arrival on Friday,<br>
<br>
and a 6pm departure on Sunday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I see that Grand Forks to Minneapolis via air is $740 round trip on Delta,<br>
but I assume you can drive from your home to Minneapolis.<br>

<br>
I have not looked at the prices for the other cities, but February prices<br>
for Grand Forks to Oklahoma City runs about $1,200. Connections are not<br>
too bad. At that price I would probably do the 10 hour drive.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I still think we just need to find a nice central location that is<br>
interesting to go to, has the services we want, has cheap air fares, and<br>
just stick with that for all future conventions, and then keep the LNC<br>
meetings in DC to keep the staff time and costs down.<br>
