Another excellent idea. You don't even need a computer if you use a web
hosting company. My corporate web site costs me less than $50 / month.

My vote is for Elmira. Put SSA in a broom closet at the NSM. Once an
organization owns a building then they tend start hiring employees to
fill it. All SSA needs in a location is a computer and a file cabinet.
Let the manufacturers/dealers put on the convention. Merchandise can
be drop shipped from the supplier or perhaps the soaring vendors could
handle it. As I understand it the magazine isn't published on site.
All we need from the SSA is: Group insurance; FAI racing compliance and
badges; and lobbying. And I reckon that if we didn't have a building
and a bunch of employees we might be able to afford a proper lobbying
firm if it was ever needed(let's hope it is never needed at that
level).
Another internet opinion-worth what you paid for it.

1) GEOGRAPHIC CENTER, Contiguous 48 States: near Lebanon
KS


2) MEAN CENTER OF POPULATION (1990 Census): in Crawford
County,
Missouri

3) MEDIAN CENTER OF POPULATION: (38 deg 57' 55' N,
86 deg, 31' 53'
W), in Marshall township, Lawrence County, Indiana,
about 14 miles
south of Bloomington, Kansas.

4) Center of soaring: ? -- the SSA may have info from
which that could
be derived, but Kansas City is about half way between
#1 and #2 above.

City is about half way between
the 48-State
Geographic center and the Mean Center of Population,
so it can't be
far off.
