Hey Steve,

There was a call out for people to help out during the conference. Have we figured out who will be needed and how we will work the entry fee? Either way I plan to attend and if I am not needed that is fine, but I just thought I would ask before I had Kristy prepay for me. She handles those sort of things.

I understand that Cherry Corals may still come show the GHL controller and Fauna Marin Products, if the numbers are high enough
