See my comments in CAPITALS below.  I've also copied your note to all the
SC's via the mailing list -  you bring up some VERY good items that are
worthwhile talking up a bit (I hope you don't mind).

Bob,

OK, thanks for he info.

A few notes -- my name is misspelled on the overall tour
map -- it's singular rather than plural!

SORRY ABOUT THAT !  IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW.

The San Francisco More Detailed Route map is not found.

BOY - I'M BATTING 1000 TODAY !  TRY IT AGAIN - I THINK I'VE FIXED THE
PROBLEM.

I guess I would like a little more information about the
overall tour.  The organization you suggest for a region
includes a treasurer and fund raising coordinator
This would not be necessary in a low-key, fun oriented
tour, would it?

THE COMMITTEE MAKE-UP SUGGESTED IS JUST THAT - ONLY SUGGESTIONS.  YOU CAN
ORGANIZE IT WHATEVER WAY YOU WISH.  WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP THE COSTS DOWN TO
$0, BUT THERE WILL BE AT THE VERY LEAST SOME PARAPHERNALIA THAT WILL BE
AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AND/OR GIVEN OUT WITH REGISTRATION.  THERE MAY ALSO
BE AN EVENT OR TWO FOR YOUR SECTOR THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO ORGANIZE THAT
MIGHT NEED SOME FINANCIAL WIZARDRY.  WE'RE NOT FAR ENOUGH ALONG TO KNOW HOW
THIS WILL FALL INTO PLACE AS OF YET.

Is this going to be a commercial event?

IF YOU MEAN IS IT FOR PROFIT, THE ANSWER IS NO.

What sort of funds do you envision being raised, for what
purpose?  Will the national organizers expect some funds
to come to them from our group?

WITH REGARDS TO FUND RAISING, THERE MIGHT BE TWO ASPECTS.  ONE WOULD BE
FUNDRAISING FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP OFFSET ANY COSTS THERE MIGHT BE
ON THE TOUR.  TWO WOULD BE IF WE DECIDE TO MAKE THIS A CHARITABLE EVENT.  WE
DON'T KNOW YET IF THERE WILL BE SOME CENTRAL COSTS TO COVER.  THERE MAY BE
FOR INSURANCE AND THE LIKE.  THESE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN
FINALIZED AS OF YET.

Based on the description I saw, participants
are responsible for their own accommodations, food, etc.
What will local funds be required to pay for?

SEE PREVIOUS COMMENTS.

Could you clarify for me?

HOPEFULLY THE ABOVE HELPS, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  BETTER YET, THROUGH OUT YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE SECTOR
COORDINATOR GROUP AT LARGE VIA THE MAILING LIST.

Thanks,   Jerry
