As far as the program is concerned, we won't have to produce that many (maybe 150?... if we have 200 attendees, we can certainly afford it anyway!<g>). We only have 5 speakers. With their bios and a paragraph from each, plus a schedule for the weekend, I think that we could probably get it all on one folded sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper, printed both sides. I could probably even do it on my inkjet if we needed to. I don't think it will cost very much, and will be a nice little "value added" piece for the registration packets. I'm not sure about Seachem either, and have the same concerns. That's why I took the discussion off-list. It's just a potential snafu I'd rather decide on now, than try to figure out, or worse, hurt people's feelings over once we get there. I figure that as it is, I will have to get there early enough to greet the way-out-of-town visitors. I don't want them to arrive with no one there.

And certainly we can put them in the ONLINE version! Not sure on Seachem. But I worry about things turning into an entourage. - Erik On Wed, 16 Jul 2008, Karen Randall wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > > I was in the process of contacting the speakers about setting up travel arrangements, what > nights they need rooms for etc. It occurred to me that we still don?t have any firm plans > what we?re going to do about a potential visit to Seachem.
