How does one learn what the convention registration fee is?
One waits. One understands that we are trying to keep the costs as low as possible, and this takes time.
But one also makes travel arrangements and plans his/her schedule.
One laughs out loud after reading this amusing reparte!
I?m looking forward to going and welcoming our new President.
