Hello Region 6 !

Last month the AMC met in Orlando, determining (among other things) that the 2007 AG will be in Birmingham, Alabama and that the 2006 MindGames® will be in Portland, Oregon. Neither decision was an easy one given that for each event very good bids had been presented by qualified, capable and enthusiastic local groups. Robin Crawford (Chicago) was appointed Communications Officer. Several motions clarifying and consolidating issues related to Communications were passed thanks in large part to the efforts of Tim Folks (Baton Rouge), Robin's immediate predecessor. Other action included nominating two AML members to international posts: Jim Werdell as Director of Administration and Stacey Kirsch as Treasurer. The weather in Orlando was magnificent, or so I am told; as usual at AMC meetings we spent far too much time indoors.

Rumors circulating about a one-day fun event involving several contiguous local groups have brought questions to mind: How far would you be willing to travel for such an event? What would it take to tickle your fancy: mental or physical athletics; bizarre or unusual programs; or maybe the simple lure of a good time to be had by all? Share with me your thoughts; share also what it would take to instigate action on those thoughts.

Comments, anyone?
