Hi Carol,
Here's what I sent to Preston:
Whoop de doo! Ely is close (or at least closer than all the others). I worked
there for almost 10 years. Love the area. Good excuse to go back! Actually, I
have to disagree with the board. East and west are only relative if you have
money or don't have to travel 2000 miles. Used to be the convention would be on
one side of the country one year; mid-country the next year; and the other side
of the country the next year. I thought that was a good plan. You could
generally make it to one or two in a 3-year period. Now, with the price of
gas... Thanks for the info. Louise

The Ely bid was presented but cannot be voted on until the next BOG meeting.
Their presentation was very impressive. Carol

Future NSS Convention Schedule.
2013-Shippensburg, Penn., near Carlisle
2014-Huntsville, AL
2015-Rolla, Missouri
2016-Ely, Nevada.
Believe that is the plan voted on by the board. The board
had a discussion about having three conventions in the east, but decided that
east and west are relative.
By the way at the next UTG Grotto meeting ask Pete and
Gill to describe the moment the squall line hit the Lewisburg campground,
including sound effects.
Preston in Outer Browder

DD and all,
Sounds like all the more reason to have
the next one in Oregon. This year it's in the hi 70s to mid 80s. We had rain
over the weekend and it's in the 50s at nite. Not every year, mind you, but
this year. Of course the first of July, it goes to 90 and higher until the
end
of fire season (some time in Aug or Sep).
Isn't the NSS slogan:
Be prepared, but have fun! ? Sounds like an interesting time was had by
all.
Louise
