Inquiring
Minds Want to Know
* We have had some inquiries from people who might interested in
sharing rooms with other attendees. Please let us know
(ADFP@optonline.net) if this is something you might like to do, as we
plan to circulate a list of names, email addresses and telephone
numbers to people who express interest.
* Depending upon attendees' interests, we may purchase a block of
tickets to a Broadway musical on Thursday night, September 11th, after
the wine and cheese reception. We estimate the cost to be between
$80-$100/ticket and, depending upon the show, would need to purchase a
minimum of 10-15 tickets. The show would be a short walk from the
conference site, which is adjacent to the theatre district. Please let
us know if you think you might be interested in doing this and the
number of tickets you might need. We'll work out the logistics once we
know we have a critical mass.
Regarding
lunch on September 12th, please let us know if you have any special
dietary requirements.
