Vancouver,BC Do?
Has there ever been a Vancouver DO or Seattle mini university? I know about the Chicago event in October but wonder if there's enough interest from the west coast?

I don't believe there has been a Vancouver Do in quite some time.
Seattle has been active with Do's but to my knowledge they were social events, in other words, they haven't been a Seminar Do or University Do.

I remember flying up for one, but that's probably been 10 years now. Tropical Flyer, Ken HAAmer and the late Nathan Detroit were there off the top of my head--we had a pretty good sized group. We did a day trip off to some local park with rope bridges (not the one you have to pay to get into). We had one event at a brewery restaurant along the waterfront that I've been back to, and the opening event was in a restaurant by the cruise terminal. I'm surprised there haven't been more Vancouver events over the years.
I'd be interested in flying up subject to award availability and my being around.

I'd love to attend a mini university or seminar on mileage running & fuel dumping and would be happy to help organize the event/venue. It would need someone who knows what they're doing to arrange & organize speakers etc. Vancouver is a beautiful city and it's easy to show off.
I'm here to lend any moral and logistical support I can should someone in the lower mainland want to set something up in what really is a beautiful, scenic city.
