Dan, it will say on your confirmation (it looks like an order sheet) from MAM. It filled up really quick but I got mine and wifey's! I just don't know why whenever I try to print a post it always cuts the last half of the first post off! Adam, could you possibly e-mail me the agenda?

To print JUST Adam's post with the agenda, highlight the post, hit "Print", or the picture of the widdle printer at the top of your page, then when the window comes up, where you see "Print Range: All, Pages, Selection" click on the "Selection" box, then "Print". That should print JUST what you have highlighted. That is, if you're using Windows.

If you were able to register for the Fireside Chat, then you're in.  They turned it off on the registration page after it filled up.

Now we just need someone to plan our Wednesday, Thursday and Friday dinners.

Can someone (Tux?) suggest some restaurants that would be suitable for us (that may be impossible) and post separate threads so we can sign up for them?

Neimerg's Steak House always treats us right there in Effingham.  There is also a Ruby Tuesday within walking distance of the hotel and they treated us well when we went there in September

Actually, Wednesday-Thursday & Friday are covered at the hotel. (I asked John to change the Saturday dinner to Wednesday). Adam thought we might want to hang out and eat on the MAM grounds on Saturday with all of the events going on that out group might be involved in.

All of the places previously mentioned are good. Another good choice is Texas Lonestar.

Dinner at the Hotel is nothin fancy mind you.. It is food to fill you and we all sit around and tell stories about each other and the day. (I have enjoyed it in the past)

But if you want something more formal it can be done and I don't have a problem helping set it up. I do hafta tell you that I will not be there on Wednesday. As it stands right now I may not be able to come until Saturday for reasons that I would rather not discuss.

IS WHAT??????? The suspense is killing me! Actually, Tux, dinner at the hotel sounds fine. If it's inedible on Wednesday, THEN we'll have a talk!!!!! Seriously, Tux, we all appreciate all you've done to make this event special and I'm sure everything will be awesome!!!

There isn't one. Don't really think it's needed. Anything we all want to talk about, can (and should) be discussed in the forums.
