I appreciate the comments of all and I too like to come and go when I want BUT my concern is safety and the convenience of being able to offer transportation to those who want, I would hope that the money for such could be obtained without asking the general membership to contribute as I agree it is VERY expensive to show at any venue --especially the National. If we decide to do this, arrangements could be made to have return transportation at various intervals. Needless to say the Centennial committee did the best it could with the constraints of location etc. ALL of our members need to have easy access to the very special Events surrounding our Centennial and this is just my thinking of how it would be nice to provide this convenience.

I think the members would appreciate the onvenience of leaving the driving to someone else that knows where they are oing. No one is asking you to contribute.

Reason we like to come nd go as we want not waiting for a shuttle. With all due respect Morton. I hink the members are done with donations. Most of the membership are not rich eople and will use their money for motel, major travel expenses and handling ees.
