[Convention] Re: State Convention Meeting Dates Recommendation

[David Rolde]

The 2003 state convention was on May 1.   I think most convention 
attendees who filled out the survey responded that the convention was 
at just the right time of the year - not too early, not too late in 
the year.  Therefore someone at the last convention planning 
committee meeting suggested that the beginning of May is the optimal 
time to have the state convention every year and moved that we make a 
decision to suggest that the convention always be the first weekend 
of May. No one presented a blocking concern so this suggestion was 
put forward to the party.  At least this is my recollection of this 
decision at the meeting.
