There's no use beating an dead issue over and over...suffice to say, when I post for the AD Caucus 2008, I will have it in BOLD and UNDERLINED on the form that only AllDeaf Forum members and their families are invited - all others must register with AllDeaf in order to attend.
If an unregistered attendee comes to the AllDeaf Caucus, he/she will be expected to PAY MORE in order to be part of the AD Caucus. Probably $10-$20 more.
However, the AllDeaf Expo will be FREE to all - both members and non-members - if we can get it set up and going. I hope to have vendors, exhibtors and entertainers for the whole day - from 9 am to 5 pm. If all goes well with the Convention Center, I will get together with the committee and start planning the costs. This is only tentative, not a reality yet.
Will keep you updated!
