[nfb-talk] Resolutions

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Bryan and listers,

    We'll be going to Detroit in 2009. The last time we went there was in
1994. Your wish will be granted. As for the convention length leave well
enough alone. We all found ways to juggle work and time off, paying the
went, etc to attend NFB Conventions with their current length.

As for me, I think I would like a convention that was about a day shorter.
I think there are ways of shortening the general sessions without taking too
much away from the overall event.

Those of us who would otherwise have to work that week take a bit hit in
terms of vacation time in order to spend a week at convention.  Maybe I
would mind a little less if we went to cities other than Atlanta,
Louisville, and Dallas.  I tlike these towns, but man, not after three times
each in 10 years.
