There are a number who are unable to attend tonight's meeting, but we will
proceed as planned (see venue & time deyails below). There are plans for a
follow-up meeting later next week at The Fairmont Empress (to be confirmed
& announced here on BCMA-L).</span></font>

In response to specific inquiries, BCMA members from outside Victoria ARE
welcome! Some have suggested registering for a Single Day and
volunteering for the first or second day. That's fine! The special Conference
2008 rate of $90.00 (+taxes) is still available at The Fairmont Empress (250-
384-8111), but you must quote the "BCMA Conference" when making
reservations.</span></font>
