<CORSA Chapters> Detroit Convention Awards

[Louis Armer]

Hi Ken, Communication,  Communication, Communication. I can't believe 
that for over two months folks have been asking about the convention 
trophies and you now tell us of the vendor problems. There have been 
severe droughts in the southeast, southwest and
Florida so we would never dream that you or your vendors would have 
water problems, This has been discussed many times on
Virtual Vairs but  Pete Cimbala, Clark Hartzel and Ken Hand never 
once mentioned the flood problem. None of us would have even
brought up the delay in receiving trophies if someone had enlightened 
the VV list.
      When I brought up the mailing expenses that you and CORSA were 
forced to bear, I did NOT mean that award winners who
were present at the banquet OR whose awards were in error to begin 
with should be charged for shipping but I DID mean for
any others to bear shipping expenses. In my personal situation, I had 
all three awards to take with me but my name had been
misspelled on the two engraving plates that were ready and one was 
not yet ready. In this case the shipping charges are minimal
since the plates are light, small and can be shipped by letter rate 
1st class USPS. Those type errors are going to happen at every
convention ( I am still waiting for a corrected plate from 
Buffalo......2nd correction is being made ) and shipping is no major concern.
