Lowman Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The last "guest speaker" worked out so well. But, it would be cool to get Julian Sprung or Bob Fenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Julian or Fenner would be a great, I would love to meet these guys, the last guest was great and I got to drive him around and have some interesting conversation, but these two are the top of the league in my book...

chewie Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Anthony CALFO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Many speakers are booked a year in advance, but we are working on it. Bob Fenner will let me know his schedule when he returns to San Diego from Hawaii on the 19th. Anthony Calfo is booked for this year, but hopefully he will visit in 2009.

Michael7979 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes this is a problem you will always run into, (and I had)........... That's why I asked for months well in advance and had to try and get a month nailed down, both with the speaker and the club. The problem is nobody wants spend the money to get Calfo now,(donate to the club to pay for his fees), and have to wait until Aug 2009 to hear him. Most people aren't sure what they are doing tommorrow let alone a year in advance. Hope that makes some sence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Julian replied this morning: Hi John, Thanks for the invitation! Well, I am at the moment on your coast, but way down in San Diego, for a pet trade show where we are exhibiting. I don't have any plans to be back this way for some time though. I do look forward to visiting Northern California again some day-- it has been a long time. I am not making trips to do lectures these days unless they are tied to another event when I have to travel, since I can't be away from home as much as I used to. It would be my pleasure to speak for your club, but unfortunately it can't be this year. Best Regards, Julian ----------------------------------------------------------- We need to decide this year what speaker or speakers we want for 2009. Not to worry... I'm sure we will have a speaker this June most people should be happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
