	Actually the economy is picking up nicely what with a 7% growth last
quarter, 200,000 new jobs, and plenty of people traveling.  However Nicki's
discussion ideas are good issues to be tackled once we complete the current
Capclave.  What is the club trying to accomplish by hosting a Capclave, is
Capclave meeting our goals, and what alternate formats would serve our goals
as well as or better than what we do now?

Hi all,

This may be a radical idea, but with the economy the
way it is - bad - and people out of work, not
traveling, etc. has anyone thought about future
Capclaves NOT being weekend events?

What is the purpose of the club having an event such
as Capclave?  (This is a discussion question.)  Could
we achieve the same objectives by holding one day
events? (Again, discussion.)

If getting non-locals, who seem to be the ones most
likely to get a hotel room, to attend is getting to be
too difficult, would it be possible to drop back and
do events for the local area cost effectively for a
few years?  We could host several small events in
different locations.  Yes, this would mean no parties
(unless individuals want to sponsor one) and not as
much socialization, but these weekend events are a
major drain on the treasury in a time when we really
can't afford it.

Please consider this question carefully.

Nicki
