[INAAPT] INAAPT meeting

[Beth Marchant]

Hi Steve,

I can only speak for myself as to why I didn't attend the IN-AAPT 
meeting this year.  The drive is just too long from South Bend to Terre 
Haute for me.  In the past, I have attended meetings in Terre Haute and 
Purdue (last year) among others and have found them to be interesting 
and well worth my time.  The biggest problem for me is that there is no 
easy route from South Bend to Indianapolis and then to have to drive 
further is just too hard for the short amount of time that the meeting 
lasts. 

I don't have any great solutions, although moving the meeting around 
from south to central to north will at least allow people from different 
parts of the state to attend different years - obviously not a perfect 
solution . . . I know that the same attendance problems occur when 
state-wide meetings are held in the northern part of the state - the 
people from the southern end find it difficult to get there.

Peace,
Beth
