Hi, I agree, the Banquet cost MUST come down in order to be feasible. I would love to see these negotiations end, and we are so close...but the cost needs to come down. First I would try to see if they will drop the price.... ...as a last resort maybe play with the reg prices. Either way, just with a $35 dollar banquet getting 120 people is A LOT, I would still say we would need a big draw...ie get AMANO to speak at the banquet and do his workshop during the day.....I think that is a MUST. Okay, off to sleep now. Kathy ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-sc" in the body of the message.
