class=449544415-02082006>Here is the confirmation from Denis on the Amy event on
September 24. The Machinists Union hall has been reserved and costs
only $75. Sounds like the event should be roughly from 11 am to 2
pm. That should give ample time for late plane arrival and to get back to
the airport. Another thought - are community groups going to set up tables
or anything like that? If so someone needs to take on the task of figuring
out which groups to invite and contacting them. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=449544415-02082006>Are we going with the $10 ticket price? I
understand that the hall holds 300 seated in chairs (only 120 at
tables). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=449544415-02082006>Are we going to give first crack at Amy
tickets to banquet ticket buyers? How exactly will that work? I
have some questions about it and don't really know the answers. It could
get complicated. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=449544415-02082006>The food menu needs to be decided and tasks
assigned. There needs to be a designated clean up crew, as that's part of
the good deal we're getting on the hall. Are we going to use paper plates
and plastic forks and set up recycling cans? Are we going to provide
coffee and or juice? Who's doing that part?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=449544415-02082006>Anyway, there are lots of things that need to be worked
out. Maybe before too long there needs to be a meeting of people working
on this event (the organizing part) to get the ball rolling. Seven weeks
goes by faster than we think. Plus, the banquet will be the week after and
tickets will be sold concurrently - so we have to keep things as simple as
possible, for the sake of everyone's sanity.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=714582821-01082006>Wanted to touch
base with you about you guys coming to Fresno on September 24 for a brunch
gathering of the tribes. We have reserved a venue - it's the Machinists
Union Hall here in Fresno. They are letting us have it for almost
nothing and it will hold 300 people seated and has a kitchen. We will do
the brunch food with volunteer chefs and elves. So that is taken
care of. I will start the publicity about mid-August. Are you
still planning on arriving about 9 am on Sunday September 24 and leaving in
the early afternoon? Is there anything else I should know about?
Hope all is well with you in these sadly turbulent times.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
