6.  2010 Reunion.

Our TAS crowd has been voting, and you haven’t already, let me know your choice:  San Diego or Washington, DC area?  I need to know no later than June 1, 2009.      IN ADDITION to a vote, two other CRITICAL components of this process are:

1. Determining which location is going to be the most affordable and accessible to our crowd;
2. What is our best options where we don’t have to do a lot of work or be responsible for a lot of financial arrangements,cancellation clauses, or other financial situations that place the TASA treasury at risk.
