I believe AROC does provide some sponsorship to the digest.

As the chairman of the hosting chapter, I'm trying to convince Richard to
attend.  As of now, I believe the issues are more with the timing than
anything else.

We'd love to see Richard (and Alison and the family) come up, even for just
the weekend.  I'm a long time supporter of the digest, and with Bernie Z I
was one who worked many years ago to get AROC to support the digest.

I don't know of anybody who is coming up just for the BOD meeting, my hats
off to you for that.  I hope you can at least stay for the welcome
reception..

See you there!
