I told Brock I would change the order, since he was the first one paid...I
too did not want to upset Brock because he was one of our biggest
contributor.. I will be resigning after this conference, someone else can
deal with it then.

Please lets try not to go on and on about this today.  I was very upset
yesterday at work and I cant do this again today.  I left work yesterday so
upset, that I was going 55 in a 35 school zone and the local police pulled
me over and when he did I went all to pieces and told him I had had a bad
day and was not paying attention..  He Kept asking me if i was ok.  Thank
goodness he did not give me a ticket.

Everyone have a great day!!

I have not seen where Brock’s email was forwarded to everyone so here it
is.  If we don’t all agree, that’s fine because we have not always all
agreed in the past but we need to understand that K12 is our biggest
sponsor.  Yes, we have always done things this way in the past and have not
had any complaints but clearly we have a complaint now.

I can honestly say that I did not talk to Brock, email Brock, or text
Brock before he sent this email at 3:02 yesterday.  Believe what you want.
We had an issue with his booth placement several years ago, I believe when
Kathy Mull was over vendors.  I was trying to avoid this entire situation
by raising concern.

I agree that this has been blown way out of proportion; however, the email
below is the calamity that I was trying to prevent by bringing this issue
up with the board yesterday morning.  This is not about whose right and
whose wrong or how we have done things in the past.  This is about making
our biggest sponsor happy.  If we don’t make this right, don’t count on his
support next year as he is stating below.

Hey Debra –

Thanks.  What’d we do to get banished to the back of the hall?  I thought
I saw an email at some point in time that said booth assignments were done
in order of registration, so we registered early (101 – first, I guess?),
thinking we’d get the good booths near the rotunda.  Did this change,
somehow?  We’ll take a booth wherever you give us one, but next year, I’ll
know better than registering early and sponsoring everything we do only to
get put down next to the bathrooms away from everything.  Truly, I thought
an early registration, sponsoring the notepads and the lanyards, would’ve
yielded better placement.

Thanks,

Brock
