Reno is not a bad idea (I believe Tara's family is still 'commuting' between Washington and Reno). Ron Higgins is our West Coast rep, and he has been giving this some thought already, but I think northern California in the running. (Ron is not much of a forum poster, but he's "bolts53" - any of you on the West Coast who haven't chatted with him, send him a PM, and give him your phone number - you'll be glad you did!)
Reno would be cheaper for hotels than Sac or Bay Area. We'll consider it. We have been to Vegas for retreats twice already - I guess we could be the CPM group (Casino plural marriage. The upcoming Asian retreat could be in Macau, and Europe could be in Monte Carlo! Hmm... they already say we're aren't 'playing with a full deck', and online poly dating is a regular 'crap shoot'...)
I only wish it wasn't 7-8 months away. But you California guys, I think there may be a one-day get-together happening before then, keep a lookout for that.
