<DIV>I am expecting a confirmation from CrowdSpring Today. I contacted Ross off the list and he is checking.</DIV>

<DIV>As far as food and drinks, that will be nice but not a requirement. I do have an offer to sponsor from Paul May and also we do have some cash we use to cover. However, it is always nice if the venue can provide food and drink. It does seem to taste better that way.</DIV>

<DIV>This will be great.</DIV>
