exhibit hall for food and beverages

in both far corners.

Lunch:

Due to hotel construction seating is

limited this year. No problem!

Here’s the plan . . . .

Lunch:

Those in the Target Sessions will be

receiving box lunches this year,

but for all others . . . . .

Lunch:

Look for the bright pink “Lunch

Buffet Ticket” in your name badge

pouch. Present it at the buffet line.

The General Session will split into

two groups:

Group 1 - Eat Lunch first, vacate

your seat as soon as you’re done,

and then cruise the booths and

outside equipment.

Group 2 – First visit the exhibitor

booths and outside equipment,

and then eat lunch. Hotel staff will

be re-setting places as quickly as

they’re vacated by Group No. 1

Lunch:

There is additional seating for lunch

in the Chambers Room – last room

on your right as you’re going out

the south door to see the outdoor

exhibits.

Lunch:

Thank you for your help in getting

through this “construction season”.

I guess we all know what that’s like,

yeah?

Lunch:

If you have any dietary restrictions,

just let one of the hotel staff

members know when you get to

the buffet and they’ll take care of

your needs.
