With respect for the KRNet group as a whole, I will keep this as short as possible and NOT state my full feelings. When I offered to Host in Northern Minnesota, there was NO limits as to what part of the country you had to be in. (There were NO boundaries given) Same Goes for the NW, E, and NE Coasts!! You requested information on who would be interested in Hosting, and many of us answered that request. Now all of the sudden, there is post after post of _itching and complaining about those Locations that have been offered. You have to realize there would be a LOT of leg work and calls to be made by the person Hosting to make arrangements. To get the Grilles around, and set aside a meeting place. To get local people to be drivers for those who would like to go see some local sites, and transportation to the convention site. Much time could be spent in the prep for such an event. Yet... ALL we see is Complaining about Locations, and NOT ONE.... Thanks Guys for the Offer... It will be taken into consideration!!! Well, Remove Northern Minnesota from the list. I do not believe I would want to put that effort out for those who have commented. Good Luck, Dick Salol, MN Mark Langford wrote: > OK, I lied. I haven't given up yet.
