Bill Boudway Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Quick question: Has the 2021 Annual Meeting been re-scheduled to February 2022? Heard that through the grapevine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 No Bill, the grapevine apparently has either too many grapes on it or it is broken! Our GOAL is to have an annual convention this year...hope to know in the next week. We do have an idea of what to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moskowitz Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Nope, I know what you are guessing but the convention cannot be booked in Pennsylvania due to indoor regulations at his time....guess again! Ed, you are worrying me that is the second time in 24 hours that I have had to correct you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Some websites rank states on the severity of their restrictions. In one ranking, South Carolina is near the top in the least-restrictive class. I'm sure our national employees and elected officers are pondering things like this right now. Sunshine of Myrtle Beach, perhaps, for a springtime National Convention?

Ed, you are worrying me that is the second time in 24 hours that I have had to correct you! Ok, south of there over the state line then. That location could accommodate WELL more than the usual banquet attendance number (based on 50% capacity restrictions currently in place in that state) AND provide housing as well. Availability might be the big question. Your turn to guess now Steve 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We have a multitude of proposals in already and are assembling a spread sheet to be able to review the pros and cons of each. The Convention will be an abbreviated one compared to Philadelphia but we envision judging schools, a couple of seminars, general membership meeting and our awards banquet. We have a plan for Friday night for a special event. Sadly, a few events will most likely go away do to space availability, costs, etc. We can say that we are Southern bound at this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, you are worrying me that is the second time in 24 hours that I have had to correct you! I have it on very good authority the meeting is now scheduled at Steve's house. It's going to be limited to 600 members. Social distancing will be interesting, as he only has 1 1/2 bathrooms. Personally, I would like to thank Steve for volunteering to host and bankroll the entire event. On behalf of the membership......THANKS STEVE for all you do. Question? How much does it cost for 600 prime rib dinners? 🤔 Edited March 5 by edinmass (see edit history) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Oldsmobile’s here to take you for a ride........so you will have to settle for one of our loaners in the museum.

It seems the very nice lady and her daughter who joined us for the morning drive know you very well.......for a long time. We learned lots of new things about you...........see seems to agree with us that your a great guy................and she wanted me to be sure I tell you the museum and tour were very enjoyable. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Edward, first I am glad these days find you in good spirits but after a long tour in a Duesenberg you should be! I imagine it is easier to be in good humor in Florida than Pennsylvania in the winter! The lady in question is a pretty special and fun person. Hopefully she was wearing her World Series ring! Glad they got to come over to see the collection, I told her she was going to be astounded! As to being a great guy, well, you can fool some of the people.... Thanks for showing them around...her brother will be happy as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 As a North Carolinian, I would rather see the Convention postponed again, than have it get a lot of members sick. While we've had both vaccinations, We're in a small minority. Just south of us, South Carolina has one of the worst records on Corona Virus control in the country. There are just to many people who still think it's all a hoax and refuse to mask up or get the vaccine. We're not alone, what watch what happens during spring break and ask if you want those young people waiting on you at a big meeting? We can wait until it's safe. (Hopefully soon!) 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Boudway Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Hi, I just checked the list of states that exceed the 5% positive tested infection rate for Covid. Looks like we might have a long wait to find a reasonably safe place to re-schedule the Annual Meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
