Re: [AGA-sc] Aquatic Gardeners Assoc Contract

[Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com>]

I have to admit Scott I actually laughed out loud when
I read your comments at the bottom :-).

Anyways, I agree with everything you said. I am still
working on the hotel on the banquet costs. I think we
can figure something out that will be better than what
we have now. 

Scott, Can you tell me if we are a 503 or a 501 C or a
8675309? I am working on the insurance clause, and he
asked me about our status. 

I am also adding your sentence to the "early departure
fee".

I reminded my sales guy that we are in the middle of a
new "great depression" so we need to find a way to
make this deal happen. He seemed to agree.

Karen can you contact Tomoko and Amano to see about
availability?

Thanks,

Larry
