<VV> Note to Sarah

[corvairs]

Chuck, with respect, there are probably very few people who even know 
that the falls CAN be virtually "turned off" (about 90% of the flow as I 
recall). It was a joke, and  I can't see where it will hurt your 
attendance. If anything, it has  caused a lot of "buzz" - and  publicity 
usually works in a convention's favor. I would make the assumption that 
very few people would believe that the falls can be turned off - and is 
that the primary reason they would come to a Corsa convention anyway?

This email is private to you and not VV. Sarah will have to answer for 
herself. If anything will dampen convention attendance it's the feeling 
that there is acrimony between the host club and National. I've seen it 
before. Your group is doing an excellent job, and I look forward to your 
event, but I suspect you have attendance problems for much bigger issues 
(vendors? for example) that are way beyond your control. I fear that 
there may be a number of missed attendees for a variety of reasons that 
you and your committee have N0 control over. Finding Sarah as a 
scapegoat for this (sorry to be direct) is not fair. Creating additional 
controversey at this point is not going to help. Lon Western Director

I for one, as chairperson for tours, was upset from the start because I knew that it could effect registration and tour participation.   It turns our I was right, we know so because we have heard it at our registration "desk"  by phone, internet and mail.
