Re: [AGA-sc] Seachem

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

Just to scratch back on history:

We made a point in 2004 of having the vendors goods held for auction after the 
situation in 2003 where the vendors jsut gave it away when they were ready to 
take down the displays -- and loads of stuff went to the few who knew about it.

I think ZooMed is giving us bags -- I recall Gary saying that in e-mail.

I like your idea of the samples table...
