Loraine,

Is there available an etext of all of the meetings which will take place, 
where and when that you could send to the group?

> Sunday and Monday, we have specialty meetings.

> Tuesday through Friday, we all meet in the big convention hall to be "in

> podium and have a chance to put our two-cents in from the floor mikes.
> The Exhibit Hall is open many times these four days, but not when the
> general sessions are going on.  There will be multiple meetings of
> divisions and groups, information events, and fundraisers going on each
> morning, each noon, and each evening, except for Thursday night.
> Thursday night is the big, dress up pretty, national banquet. The
> convention ends at 5 P.M. Friday.

> See you there!
