Re: [DML] DeLorean Owners Association Event – Las Vegas May 2007 – Postponed

[lordshill@xxxxxxx]

As to the cancellation of the event I'd have to say that I believe the  DOA 
is not quite DOA, but close.  
 
    
When I received my invitation in the black  envelope I was impressed and when 
I opened it I was wondering who was going to  pay that much for a room and 
event.  I knew I could not make the event as I  had another event to go to in 
the time frame that had been set. My daughter  will receive her Masters Degree 
on the 19th and we will have returned from a  reunion a couple of days before.  
What struck me was the price difference  between Ken's shows and this one.  
Vegas is a tourist haven and the  hotels will fight over each other to get you 
the best deal.  It  seemed to me that $229 for three nights ($687) and 
registration for two ($  450)  for a total of $1,137.00 before you consider airfare 
and  incidentals.  Basically it out priced itself.  The DOA is an  organization 
that needs new blood.  I've yet to see a treasurers report or  accounting of 
any kind.  I wonder how much the invitations cost to print  and mail.  The 
organization needs to change, get new blood to infuse  energy.  An organization 
that will not change will not last and change is  difficult.  DOA has a young 
President and I believe he can move the  organization forward.
    
    Pick a spot in the middle of the country and have  a show every year with 
DOA doing one and the next year Ken doing one.
