I thought the food and the atmosphere for the Victory Dinner was far less than
desirable. Anyone remember the Columbus National Dinner a few years ago? It
was beautiful, elegant, and the food was very good. I would pay $50 for a
dinner like that every year, but I wouldn't pay $10 for a dinner like we had
last week.
We either need to have a truly nice dinner like the Columbus year and do it
right...OR...do what Lew said and just have a more informal dinner after the
show on Saturday. However, trying to portray an elegant Victory Dinner and
falling way short is no good.

our annual national party routinely costs less than $17.00 per person liquor
included BUT the arena has sole catering rights therefore hold up prices I
am sure plus in the past there has been emphasis on making $ off the dinner-
hope that will change to making it affordable and edible by everyone- they
also ran out of plates for several minutes -Kris
