[Athen] ATHEN Meeting at Accessing Higher Ground2007 -AGENDAITEMS

[Greg Kraus]

I agree that the Exhibit Hall would be too difficult.  There's a lot  
of talking going on, and I think they are still serving food at that  
time as well.  Well, maybe the food is an incentive to have the  
meeting there. :)

I'll just plan on coming to the ATHEN meeting when I get done.  It's  
really not a problem.  Maybe we could work out the scheduling a  
little differently next year.  I do wish more vendors would get  
involved with ATHEN though. Whatever decision gets made for following  
years, please keep in mind that if I am still the only vendor  
interested in coming I don't want everything to change just for me.   
I would rather ATHEN have plenty of time to meet and do the work that  
needs to be done and I come a little late.

Cya in Boulder.

Greg
