PPCC List - PPCC Board decision on hosting the 2024 CORSA National Convention

[David Feasel]

   First I would like to ask who is "hvac1515"?
   Second my understanding is that the proposal for the convention had to
in to Corsa by September according to Ken Shiftner. Without guidelines
provided by Corsa how can the board have time to give any intelligent
information to the club.
  Before any decision such as this ANY organization or company must have
all information needed to make a decision. Think about it people and be
smart as to the actions needed.
  1. What committees are needed and what are their duties?
  2. How many people are usually needed to fill each committee?
  3. What venues or events are needed and where would they be located?
  4. What materials are needed and where would they need to come from?
  5. What license or permits are needed?
   This is just some of the information that would be needed to make any
intelligent decision. BE SMART!
  Think about it for a minute, does the PPCC have the membership numbers to
be able to hold such an event? There are only about 11 PPCC members in the
Springs area that may or may not be able to be available on short notice to
take care of any action that may need to happen.
  An example is the hospitality room.
    A. What food and drinks are to be provided?
    B. Who is going to get the food and drinks? This usually takes anywhere
from 3 to 6 people.
    C. You need ice chests and ice to keep drinks cold and you need
sometimes a small group of people to transport food and drinks.
    D. You need people to man the room. YOU CANNOT MAN IT WOTH JUST ONE
PERSON.
   E. You need personal to clean up afterwards.
   F. You need people to transport remaining goods out of room to wherever
you store the goods.
  Short answer is you need at least 6 people to be able to support the
hospitality room room at any given time. I know this from experience in
running events the size of a convention and larger.
  THE CLUB NEEDS GUIDANCE FROM CORSA WHICH IS NOT FORTHCOMING.
  I am very frustrated with those that have no knowledge or have never been
involved in the GRUNT work involved.
  ASK QUESTION BEFORE SAYING YES LETS DO IT.
  THINK, THINK, THINK.
  Do not disparage the board as to their decision. The time limit imposed
and the lack of info I think they made the right decision.
   This is last commit I will be making on this subject as I will be
leaving the club do to the lack of involvement of the club and the lack of
enthusiasm of its membership to be involved in leadership positions in this
club but are more then willing to do nothing more then complain about the
current leadership.
  I am not afraid to put my name to this email, David Feasel.
