<VV> Convention Scheduling

[Harry Jensen, Executive Secretary]

Hi Tim--

I should have communicated this better. We WANT to accommodate members 
and hear suggestions on how to make the convention better. Schedule 
making is a daunting task.

We reach a point where the time to conduct all the different events is 
greater than the time in each day, unless we don't sleep. ;-) As it is, 
we start each day at 7 or 8 am and end at 10 pm.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Cedar Rapids.
