So do not call me glib with my question:  is Canada easy and accepting of HIV+ visitors?  If so, I vote Canada.  Although, I do not know much about the cities of Canada and the tourism benefits.  I will have to leave that up to the AMG committee (so I hope my vote counts and does not become discounted).

1.  Canada -- I do not know a location to choose
2.  Canada

Also, I would like some info on participating the fund-raising/grant committee.
I've never written a grant.  I do not know what you do to raise funds, but let me know some of the activities or brainstorming sessions and I will participate.

AMG Coordinator,

Thom and I have been discussing the location for the past few weeks.  We wish to amend our two separate votes for the following TWO locations.

Ric:
1) Mexico City Mexico
2) Chicago, IL  USA

Thom:
1) Mexico City Mexico
2) Chicago, IL  USA

Sorry about the late change and thank you for the opportunity for us to reconsider.

Warmest regards, Ric & Thom

PS - Hope you are getting settled in on the west coast and that all is well with you both.

Edited to correct spelling

sorry, is this slang for "foreign language"?

Just asking because ENGLISH is not my mother language and I like to keep my argot (slang) up-to-date.

I am voting for Amsterdam.

Because Mexico is  not my cup of tea.

However, resepctig the fact that Amsterdam may be too expensive for many US citizens, I will joins Mexico instead.
Make it the week before the big conference then.

Screw Mexico City, lets go to cancun and do tequila shots and beer bongs on the beach.  I'm going to go this year I swear, Someone better like tequila, maybe we could go hit up the pharmacy too.  Mexico City just sounds scary....
