Sat Feb 28 15:07:12 UTC 2009

Dear Eric,
RE: 1. If I made each one so good you can not choose, I have done my job
well. Smile Thankyou.
2. This is a personal problem between you and Rasa. Smile. As far as I am
concerned you Dad's can bond all night, just show up in time for the annual
meeting the next day at 1 p.m.

Now register for the March and the conference! Thanks Eric.

WOW! The agenda looks great!
Carrie, Great job to you & all those involved in putting this together!
I only see 2 problems:
1) It's going to be hard to choose between simultaneous very interesting 
sessions
2) I don't think the Dad's Night Out can realistically be condensed into 
just the allotted 2 hours - we may have to officially or unofficially extend

that :-)
