Diane, I have obviously not made myself very clear. So please bear with me here. First we always have a victory dinner in this case the victory dinner would have extra attractions added to it such as a dance and band after the dinner. If however, by beginning of year 2013 we do not have the money in hand to hire a band we won't have one. But we will still have the banquet and that room for the banquet will have been reserved as usual. I am happy to report that the facility we have toured has GUARANTEED US the same food prices as they have this year for 2013 and they are quite reasonable and in a beautiful country club with plenty of room. We are planning a celebration on Friday night to honor dogs and people, if that event is not covered by end of 2012 we will not plan on having it. That event will be at the Host hotel which will work with us on it. Diane I have been involved in Hotel Management for years, including large banquets, dinners, cocktail Parties, rooms blocks etc. I am very familiar with the requirements - we will have our exhibitors at the host hotel which means additional revenue for the hotel in rooms, beverages and meals. Hotels take this into consideration when the 'group' uses banquet rooms for events which are accompanied by revenue producing cash flow such as cash bars. The last thing I will see happen is to put the members club put in a compromised Financial situation. There appears to be a general lack of confidence in the ability of the Centennial committee to act in a responsible manner. I hope the explanation puts you & other at ease. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have, I will answer them honestly and openly.
