Re: Charging for AIS Shows

[Jill Bonino <aistreas@earthlink.net>]

I agree with Jim & Gerry.  It is the local club's perorgative to hold their show wherever they want as long as the show itself is free.  Therefore, it is up to the local club if they want to hold their show in a venue that has an admission charge for the entire venue...I don't see any need to change our ByLaws or policies.
