There will be a dinner. I apparently got bad info on the catering details and was unable to get it set up before I left the country. I hope to have it resolved by the end of the week and have tickets
We've got catering sorted out. Note the following changes from previous years: 1. If you require a vegetarian dinner, please EMAIL me the number of dinners you want after you purchase them using the
