Subject: [dynix_fl] CODI 2000 - Local arrangements

CODI 2000 is just around the corner and it's time to kick into high gear.

The local arrangements committee is responsible for the Dinner Groups for 
Wednesday night, and including an entertainment guide to the Tampa and Tampa 
Bay area in the conference manual.

If anyone would like to help with any of the items listed below please contact 
me at (813) 622-8252 or email me.

Dinner Groups:
I need volunteers to contact the restaurants to get dinner menus and to do the 
reservations for 10. Create a signup sheet include a short paragraph about the 
restaurant.  Attendees signup for the restaurant of their choice starting 
Tuesday through Wednesday 3:30pm. Wednesday night, you will need to gather 
those that are signed up for your restaurant, make sure they have directions to 
the restaurant and that they get into the correct cab.  Last year about 130 
conference attendees took advantage of the dinner groups.  More attendees would 
of gone if they had more groups. I was hoping to do about 20 groups and maybe 
repeat a few of the restaurants.  We will use color dots with letter code stuck 
to their name tags for easy ID-ing of who belongs to which group.  Note, you do 
not need to go to the restaurant unless you want to.

Test your knowledge:
Do you have any trivia about Tampa that you would like to create a Test your 
knowledge of... If so please contact me.

Any other ideas you have?
I have a start on this one with the convention bureau stuff and a book done for 
the Special Libraries Association conference in June 2000, but if needs to be 
pulled together and additions included.
