Great start to the seminars yesterday! Lot of good sessions; heard great things. 3/4 of the attendees already checked in by end of registration Friday night. Registration is open today from 8am-noon.

Thanks so much to all those who bought charity raffle tickets already - you rock! For those who said they'd buy tickets "tomorrow", well - it's tomorrow! Get those credit cards (or cash) out & buy some tickets. We've got some great prizes & it's supporting 3 great charities. Buy early & buy often!

For those who said they have items to donate, please drop them off at the registration desk today if possible & tell them the items are for the charity raffle. We have a lot of items for the charity raffle & if I can get them organized tonight/early morning vs. at the last minute before the charity raffle it would be helpful.

For those who have sent PMs saying you're willing to help out w/ raffle ticket sales, please find me (I'm wearing a pink Alta ski resort baseball cap & will be yellling get your raffle tickets). Alternatively I'll be outside the seminar rooms selling tickets inbetween sessions. I could use some help in counting/splitting tickets while I run the credit cards during those times. I will also need some "Vannas" to help distribute prizes/verify ticket #s during the raffle tomorrow.

Don't forget - in the hallway, lobby, restaurant & bar are great times to meet/continue to chat w/ other like-minded traveler or points people & learn more. Take the opportunity during the day & after the reception tonight to keep those conversations & learning opportunities going & make some new friends. You can always sleep when you get old.

See you all soon & here's to a great 2nd day of the seminars!

Cheers.
