Update Log: 1/10/2008

Initial emails were sent out to NTIF about booth space and other necessary information. Was contacted by Ms. Marsha Singer and put into contact with a Mr. Gary Spaulding.

If no contact with Mr. Spaulding by 1/17/2008, am supposed to ping Ms. Singer again.

Kevin is going to look for the old Conradh banner (the green and gold one) and some of the old flyers and see what can be used/reused for a booth at the NTIF.

I'm gonna close this thread since the Irish fest is over. If you'd like to read an "after action" report, follow this link:

Also if you haven't had a chance to bring the cash for your NTIF ticket, if you could bring that to class at your next opportunity, that would be great.
