a rather accurate perspective.

At $45, if the Banquet was ONLY about the food, the speaker and the manner of dress, then the option is to just not go. And, if enough feel this way, then it will die of it's own accord.

However, at 150, that is a fairly strong consensus amoung Club members. That number has been enough to support OTY voting, medal voting, T-Shirt voting, Convention Chip voting, poker tournament play, black-jack tournament play, seminar attendance, Club Business Meeting attendance, Election majorities and might only be out paced by the number of Volunteers!

Thank you for your heartfelt and accurate commentary Archie!
