We would prefer that registration for the RSDC be paid soon, being as we have a number of expenses connected with the conference. We also encourage partcipants to purchase the meals, in advance. The Ogden, Marriott will want advanced payment on meals a month in advance. Also,the RSDC will have key speakers after each meal. I would like to encourage Lowell Lyon to bring the RSDC to the attention of the 300 member mailing list. Sincerely, J. David Baxter baxman2@comcast.net
