      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi all<br />
Here are a few thoughts I had for changes for Spring Fest<br />
We get the hall on Friday night, so all the vendors will have ample time to set up.<br />
I would like to start a speaker @ 11:30.  No access of any kind would be allowed to the sales floor during this time.  This would give everyone (including vendors) an opportunity to see the speaker.  Then the speaker would not have to speak over anyone, and sellers wont have to make a choice between their booth &amp; the speaker.  We would only have...<br />

By a far margin, our biggest expense is the speakers, but it seems no matter who we bring in, they dont get attended very well.<br />
Should we continue bringing in speakers?  Or should we discontue bringing them in &amp; spend the money on other things?  Or cut it down to one?<br />
Those of you who didnt attend, why not?]]></content:encoded>
