I'm not sure what you point here is? I'm glad you were able to pull it off and I congratulate you for doing so but I think there is a difference between getting the funds, eventually and having no reason to think you would get any funds at all. I think it's great when Z clubs have the people and financial resources to host the annual convention; our club simply did not have those resources.
We had to make a decision based on what we had and what we knew; not what we hoped would happen - as I said earlier; our club had no commitment or any reassurance at all that we would receive any funds form NNA and without those funds (and without them well in advance of the convention) we could not have hosted the convention - for that reason, as well as others, we declined hosting it. To have done otherwise would have been irresponsible.
