for the hospitality room. Pam Campbell asked if we could provide our own coffee maker and
coffee for the hospitality room, instead of using the hotel’s coffee maker. This would cost $41 per

disagreed. Dale Van Camp will investigate.

before the show Paul Starjack will be laying out plastic in the ballroom and the ring will be setup.
The welcome table will be open. Anyone is welcome to volunteer to help on Wednesday.

available to use for free. Dale Van Camp will check to see if the club would be charged even if
