Other than the normal registration as in the past, nothing should change.
Mo, you are asking for the ultimate nightmare. You think it is work now, you have just tripled your workload that was already too much. Even getting remotely involved with blocking and paying for the rooms is asking for trouble, especially if someone trashes their room. Also having activity costs built in is extremely hard to do with a group of that size.
Having the younger guys might help build their planning skills and responsible individuals in life. That is just my .02

Mama Mo, I have to agree with Andy on this.
I really don't think it's a good idea to pay for people's rooms

I think shes just referring to a solid "ASS costs $X" pay us that, and you attend all functions for free. type situation.
not perfect by any means, but a decent idea. |

I honestly don't think anything needs to be changed in the way of prepping for ASS. I think it is just a matter of people wanting to go and deciding that they need to do certain things in order to make sure that they can go. That and people just get lazy and attempt to get everything set up in like a couple days before the deadlines which only effs those people over.
Honestly if your planning on going there should be no problems except for those people that have issues with revolving schedules and or deployments ... those can be understood since you may not actually be able to request the time off far in advance or have to compete with people for that time off.
Just my .02

Well the futher away you live, the more it's going to cost
I'm around 700 miles, so it costs me a total of 5 tanks of gas. I think it was $36 was the highest (But it did cost me $50 in Cananda) The 5th tank of gas I get at home and it lasts me the week. Tolls cost too if you go toll roads.
The room is just shy of $300

The way it is now is nice because even though things came up the last 2 years I still pregistered. Even if I didnt go I still consider it a donation to the cause because of the fun this place has there. I wanted to go this year but I got myself involved in a project that is going in a magazine next week. ugh
Honestly I think the plant tour/drag strip before is what got a lot of people there. It kinda seems now the activities are the same year after year and people arent as excited except for the "weekend away" apeal. Im not sure what else lansing has to offer but it wouldnt hurt to look?

I'm really hoping that I can go next year, but with me getting married next May, and getting a lot of student loan payments.... I'm not 100% sure. Keeping my fingers crossed though!

Nope exactly the same. You just paid cash one night and the rest on your card. |
