If you read the reply that I sent to Karen you can see that the reason for starting on a
Thursday (what you call a schedule shift) was not to accommodate working people who want to attend the weekend portion.

If was done to allow us to basically find sites that would accommodate us. Over the years as camping became more popular it is getting harder to find sites that meet our requirements.
We like to stay in sites that have many amenities such as full hookups, meeting rooms, etc. It has gotten a little easier as our fall conventions used to be attended by about 250 GMCs.
Now it is more like 150-200. On the GMCMI site there is a Site Selection Form that you can download and submit potential sites to our Convention Manager (Kim Weeks). This form is at http://www.gmcmi.com/site-selection-form/
If you read the form you will see how difficult it is to find sites that really can meet our needs.

If your or Karen or others can find a site that will meet our needs as outlined on the Site Selection form and that will also allow us to book a Monday to Saturday convention I am sure that Kim would be more than willing to make that change.

We are always looking for suggestions on sites that we should use. Unfortunately we get very little help from the members in suggesting sites that meet our needs. It is a difficult task that takes a lot of Kim’s time.
