Re: [AGA-sc] AGA 2008

OK, If we are all in agreement on the dates of Nov
13-16 then I will move forward. It is still a little
early for agreements since I have to "ask" for a few
more things. After that we can get an agreement. 

I did however, mention to Josh at the Sheraton that it
may be easiest on both of us to use the same agreement
as 2006 since it was on on Sheraton's paper.

I do howver want to add a "suitability clause" or
something to the effect that says the AGA will be
caused harem by an unsuitable environment, ie loud
music, revival groups, motivational speakers, etc.

I hope to have a signed contract in hand before
Thanksgiving!
