> of experience, hurricanes, personnel issues and the war in Iraq (OK 
> mostly our lack of experience) the number of registrants is below what 
> we need to have a successful event.  Even as few as 40 more people 
> registering will make a big difference in the success or failure of 
> this event.

>  So I am asking you to pass the below message on to everyone you know
