Keith,

Do you remember what was the finacial break down for the International
Reception hosted last year in Dallas by the AIHA Metro Local Section? I
thought that the AIHA Rocky Moontain Local Section would carry forward the
new tradition of hosting the international reception with corporate and
AIHA, ACGIH and AIHA International Affairs Committee support.

Thanks, Andrew

currently in the 'process' of finding a place to go Monday night (day of the
roundtable) for all of presenters and audience to go (we all go dancing) and of
course everybody will pay their own expenses. It may nicely fit if at least we
can post an announcement at the conference. In that way no $ and not losing the
trend, before next year.

Would be in the neighborhood of $5,000.
