Hi folks,

I've been talking to Tom Barr about setting up some sight seeing for our 
Danish friends on Wed. & Thurs. before the convention.  How many of you 
would be interested in participating in this.  With those numbers in hand, I 
can see whether Tom can come up with some locals with mini vans willing to 
act as drivers.  If he can't, we'd have to rent a couple of mini vans for 
those days.  Erik & Kathy had already been talking about renting one, but 
we'd need another if everyone came.  Then we'd need to decide whether we 
will split the rental costs between those who want to participate, or 
whether AGA could kick in (and how much) toward it.

Karen
