Hello all!



It’s that time of year to review your group friendly events and nominate them for the American Bus Association’s Top 100 Events list. Please note that these events must stand out as group friendly and be able to accommodate motorcoach parking (refer to the ABA judging criteria below). The deadline is May 16, so you have plenty of time to collect 2009 event info and handle the submission process. More information is available at http://www.buses.org/node/640



Note the new rules:



1) Each ABA member CVB can nominate two events



2) Non Member CVBs can nominate one event for $100, which is refunded if you join ABA in 2008



If you would like to see the winners for 2007 and 2008, go to http://www.buses.org/node/35. Once you make your selection, please email me the event name and 2009 dates. If you have any questions, please let me know.



Thanks and Good Luck!!!
