Should be on the top of the list I think.

Most district events are going to be closer to the $20,000-$30,000 range. That's a huge financial risk for one local area to take upon themselves.

Others have said this repeatedly.

Carolyn, I count the Minneapolis events as basically the same venue as both are on the U of M campus across the street from each other. When I work those events I spend equal time on both sides of the street as do many of the volunteers and the RPC.
