well let me shed some light on the low attendance the majority of usaci dont work for themselves, and with turkey day then christmas coming up maybe time with the family is valued more than the meeting so in retrospect the timing of the meeting was in fact probly the reason for the low attendance.
I would also like to see finals in late AUG to early SEP this would allow people the time to recover from the expenses of ifnals to be able to provide for the holidays
