Re: [Harp-L] Vendor Fees at SPAH

[Joe and Cass Leone <leone@xxxxxxxx>]

I feel that there is a difference between sponsors & vendors. Vendors  
should not be charged. Vendors are doing a service for the membership  
just by being there. Spah is supposed to be about the membership. You  
can't advance and promote harmonica without members. Ergo: they  
should be comped for the space/table  whatever. The vendors should be  
grouped like a flea market. Possibly in the ante-room of the  
conference halls.

Since spah comps/perks other people, why not the vendors.

Just my opinion, no acid tossing please...... smokey-joe

Since they are already paying for lodging, food, transportation,  
shipping, it would encourage them further if you would drop the table  
charge.
