<VV> Corsa's future- a possible idea?

[gswiatowy at rochester.rr.com]

For years I argued to make the convention more affordable, the hotel costs, banquet, and all the bells and whistles made it an expensive proposition for the guy of limited means to participate fully.

I had hoped to at least institute a "childrens menu" for the banquet.
Was told that spare no expense for the banquet is the norm.
And a childs menu would encourage kids to attend, and there were those who would rather discourage kids attendance.
Back when I was truly more enthusiastic about conventions, I skipped many due to the costs of bringing along the kids. Now that they are grown, I'm less enthusiastic about event participation.

When I did attend, I never actually stayed in a host hotel. The difference of $40-$50 a night in room costs made the difference of staying 2 nights, or 5 nights.
