One of the issues in deciding where to hold a Convention is finding a city with enough AJL members who are willing to volunteer to put it together. So far, we seem to find these volunteers around the larger cities which tend to have more expensive accommodations. Another consideration is Kashrut. Seemingly the hotels that have kosher kitchens charge more. And as Joel pointed out, the cost of having our Convention on a college campus (as evidenced by the cost of CAJE) is not less expensive. However, I do like Aviva's idea of varying the convention every few years. That might satisfy most at least some of the time! Susan Dubin
