Many of us in the Midwest region are already tired of attending a
convention every year in the same location -- ie.  Chicago.   By having
our MALSB meetings in conjunction with the MBAA each year at the
Palmer House,   it makes the job of the program chairperson less
burdensome, but it is getting BORING to go to Chicago every March.  The
thought of returning their in August also is not attractive to this MALSB -
ALSB member.   At the very least,  please pick a new hotel.
