I think you should make your family come up to Chicago to see YOU! You're going to be in no shape to drive after a BEER conference! As an alternative, we already have New Glarus and Mineral Point on the agenda - how's your family feel about an extra 20 or so homebrewers as guests??? LOL! Now the tally stands at: Al Boyce and Beth Williams Steve Piatz and Janis Sines Chris Hadden (and?) Jonathan Crist (and?) Rick Oftel Steve and Joni Fletty Ron Wolfgram (and?) Jim LaRoque (and?) Jim Ellingson <-- BUS LICENSE! ----------------------------- Total: 12(+) Not on the bus, but going: Mike and Sue Moranz - Al "Mike Moranz" <mmoranz@net- To: allan.boyce(a)usbank.com, mba(a)thebarn.com info.com> cc: Subject: RE: 2003 AHA Conference - Chicago 11/21/2002 11:03 AM I pulled details from the website for our newsletter due out shortly. I will be attending although driving down with my wife Sue. We would surely follow the bus in case of any beer spills. We have family an hour or two south and plan on visiting after the conference. The conference hotel would be most convenient but I'm wondering if there is anything else within walking distance, and less expensive. ( not likely close to the airport!) I have appointed Steve P coordinator but everyone going needs to help out to make our club presence as easy as possible. The bus idea is good. I suspect it would be going down for the entire conference? We should set up a planning meeting sometime before Christmas. Mike Moranz, President Minnesota Home Brewers Association
