We will likely here back Mon or Tue. So hopefully all the options will be
available for final review early next week and a decision can be made. Once you
all see the costs (and substancial savings vs HB) perhaps the votes will
change. Right now the only firm expenses are OKC – the best deal shown below

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: <st1:City w:st="on">Atlantic City</st1:City>, <st1:City
w:st="on">Bellevue</st1:City>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">New
Orleans</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Oklahoma</st1:State></st1:place>
City,<br>
and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City><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" target="_blank"
value="+15127733968">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>

I have not looked at the prices for the other cities, but February prices<br>
for <st1:City w:st="on">Grand Forks</st1:City> to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Oklahoma City</st1:place></st1: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>
