I think it's a given that attendance will be higher in KC, simply based on the number of members that live in the area. I think it's also fair to recognize that members from outside of the area have born the expense of travel annually.
I think the Board has found a reasonable compromise. As long as the location selected is easy to get in and out of, and has reasonable lodging and car rental rates it should be fair for all (Sorry Sled, that tends to rule out the Waldorf).
Living in DFW I don't expect the banquet to come here anytime soon, but promise to organize a Snipe hunt that none of you will ever forget if it does:wink:
