<VV> Membership question -- 100% vs Not.

[Rodney Sampson]

George, et all:

   I've been involved with much larger organizations than ours, perhaps 
if we can get the BOD to contact
     the IOUG and the folks at Oracle, they may get some pointers with 
handling conventions
     of 45K or more... It runs quite smoothly, and not many ruffled 
feathers...
  Just because it's painful, doesn't mean we can't try...

Thanks
Rodney Sampson
