Hi Jane,

1.The banquet is very good, and the guest speaker is always outstanding.

2.Thats the way it usually works, the vendors have chips for sale. Of course most of them are open to trading if you have something they need for their collection.

3.Bring what ya got. The trade sessions are a social event unto themselves.

4.Some get dressed up for the banquet. Usually just the ladies and Jim Follis, but you're welcome to wear whatever you want whenever you want.

5.As far as a shuttle, I don't remember one in the past, but if I'm incorrect, some one will come along and let me know there is always lots of people driving to the Palms, and nobody has been left behind yet.

When you come to the convention, please stop by the Membership table and say hello. I look forward to meeting you.

Best regards,
Ralph
