A couple of suggestions... (not aimed at anyone in particular and probably not relevant to THIS particular thread).

- I think that before hosting a do, potential hosts should attend one or two first. You'll get a better idea of the personalities, the range of interests, and the degree of planning involved.

I would have to disagree with this statement.
Some people are natural organizers ( not me). For Example the SAN do in July 2001 had

PROGRAMS
a tour of the control tower
guide dog demonstrations
lectures from airport personnel
dinner Fri nite
dinner Sat nite
drinks and lunch at the airport to see the 777
arranged transportation for those without cars
games
gifts
nametags
banners to welcome us

All set up by a person SanDiego1K who had NEVER attended a DO. Well Captain Mike was involved too

I think all of us who were there agree that this was a FANTASTIC DO. Should it not have happened because the organizer had not attended one before?

Just my 2 American cents
