Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: T-shirts

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

A couple of thoughts:

It would be nice if it could be near in in the vendor room
as one more attraction to that area. During talks, there's
no need to sell shirts. There's enough time between that
folks can buy them then without needing to get them during
talks.

We don't have any way to process a credcard number. We
could let them pay on paypal with a credcard and then
remember not to mail a shirt because they bought one at the
big show ;-) -- one more reason to hold price at $18.

Still some time to get the $59 registration rate -- it must increase as of 
October 28th to $79.

Still some time left to get the 65% discount hotel rate.
