[Communications] Fwd: CCGA Conference - discount for vets?

[Lorraine Kells]

Hey all,

I agree with Gina. Thank you for the suggestion; we'll take it up for next
year, but at this point once again changing registration is not going to
fly.  We have to stand with what we put out on our website, our flyers, any
information we have already put out without making "back room" exceptions
to our registration as it stands.

The exception that we make on a case by case basis is too flawed
structurally and philosophically.  What does it mean to be a veteran;
someone who went to base camp and learned carpentry and then left the army?
Yes that's a vet who gets veteran benefits; it's my brother.  His
beneifts are great. Does he need to be comped to a conference because  he's
a vet NO.

These requests become issues that easily become divisive, unmanageable and
unreasonable arguments rather than decisions that can be made by email.
All registration fees are as stated on the form.

Lorraine
