WORTH IT ISN'T THE TOPIC, GETTING MANY FOLKS THERE IS

[Guest guest]

Of course it is worth it, that is not the issue, the issue is to get as many

folks there as possible and then " ask " him if it is appropriate to change

the time and it may not be. As I said, it was just brainstorming. I do

believe his motive is to get us there and have a good time and if nobody

will show up at 10 am, then I think he would welcome changing to a more

convenient time. Huh?????

Re: OK how about 1pm-7pm casual/ then a break and

8pm - 1 am for evening portion??????

Hi,

I don't know if the times are negotiable, I think this is the doc's idea.

Whatever times anyone can make whether it's the whole day or half day or

whatever, would be worth it. huh?

Oh, I think there are alot of folks willing to be there at 10am. I know people

who have to travel couldn't but I plan to be there and probably most of the NC

folks too. I don't think any of the out of towners would feel bad if they could

at least get to some of the functions, would you?
