> Hello,
>  
> Everyone will receive a flavor of this message in one of four ways: via this list, through a welcome email from our president, from the podium during the weekend, and from you sharing this information with friends who are not great about paying attention. So, really, don’t blame us if you didn’t get the memo, because we’re doing our part to get the word out.
>  
> First, COVID. Here’s that gentle reminder that if you’re feeling ill, take proper precautions. Yes, we will have testing kits available on site as part of your registration packet, but no, we did not need COVID to inspire that bit of common sense that if you’re contagious, we would rather enjoy your company from afar. That is why we are leaning on Zoom to get the event to you.
>  
> Second, meals. This is always the stickiest part of convention planning. Please, for the love of all that is good, do not lose track of your meal tickets. We may be able to check your name against a list at each meal function, but we need to get over 200 people served as efficiently as possible. Please do your part to keep the machinery humming.
>  
> Third, while we’re on the subject of food, please do not count on the hospitality event on Friday night serving as dinner. There will be a taco bar, but I don’t want you to run the risk of pulling up to said bar and feeling disappointed if 75 people ahead of you wiped the place clean. Plan accordingly.
>  
> That’s it for now. In the next installment we’ll talk changes to the agenda, hotel layout, and an important warning...

> To be continued,
