RE: COMMON Update... - the Porsche give-away?

I agree with Anna relative to what the expectation of what hospitality suite
environment would be like.  It should be obvious that Quadrant would have to
sell many, many packages of fax and forms to justify a car giveaway.

Hi, Mike!  While I voted in the past, as a COMMON Board member, not to
have this type of hospitality suites/"giveaways" I did not thing
Quadrant was unprofessional. I don't believe it tarnished their
reputation.  Many trade shows do this type of thing all the time.  It
has just not been something COMMON allowed.  They acted like they would
at any "typical" trade show.

As to the drawing not being on the up and up ...for once (I usually give
people the benefit of the doubt!) I was very skeptical that a car would
be given away.  You gotta read the fine print and listen carefully to
what they say. I went to see who else was there and get a feel for what
the attendees thought.  They loved the food and drink! It had a party
atmosphere...and yes! There were probably waaaayy too many people in
that room.  But I only talked with a few that were against it.

BTW, I heard that the COMMON Board had not been told about the
drawing...they only approved the hospitality suite.

I guess I'm in the "old" COMMON mind-set and would really like CUDs to
be the place people gather for food and drink!

...for what it's worth!
