I would reconsider my plans to go to Cleveland if there was not going to be a dinner.

We will know approximately 6 months in advance, if we will have one or not. Cleveland is a bit more difficult venue to have one at. I know a lot of members look forward to it so we'll try. It does have a lot to do with sponsorship too. The costs have gone up a good bit. And, no, I won't consider charging to go to it. The $5 donation for doggies is about as much as I ever want to solicit, and even that goes against my philosophy of having this board always be free to members. But I will make exceptions to help good causes. LL
