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. Mike Schumann wrote in message oups.com... 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. Nyal Williams wrote: Read No. 3 again, your geography is woefully lacking!

So my guess is that it is somewhere in western Nebraska or eastern Colorado. 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. Jack City is about half way between the 48-State Geographic center and the Mean Center of Population, so it can't be far off. Jack |
