[MACEP] Spring Slumbertech - Web Tools

[Allan Dunn]

Paul,

I have it on my calendar.  I would be glad to be in charge of food for 
Friday Night (dinner would be OK - we could do it!) and Saturday 
Breakfast.  I would throw in a fee ($20?) for food, expenses, and 
commitment - as we have done in the past.  Mark Peterson was the keeper 
of the $$ before...
