So, here's the two big overall dates that I'd like to set. I know they will sound early, but trust me on this, it's really a good idea, I've been working with booking conferences for a few years.
Sept. 1, our city is chosen. This is also when our local point person comes in.
Nov. 1, hotel chosen and ballroom/hosp suite booked.
When do you want city proposals, ND?
edit: I mean, when should we have the narrow list of possibilities, and when should those possiblities turn in their proposals.
Look at me, I'm all cryptic and stuff.
Let's split the time and say July 15 for the narrowing of cities. We can bat around ideas as far out as mars until then. July 15 we'll narrow it down to the top 3 or 4.

Sounds good. Gives enough time both for batting around ideas and for figuring out the final choice. And I agree with everyone who's been saying they'd rather get this planned early.
I dunno, is Mars in the midwest?
I vote Mars.
Seconded. We even have a local point-person. Er, rover.
We'll go to the midwest of mars. Lori can help.

According to the Little League, it's in Virginia.
I think this is an excellent plan.
