[AIS] Re: Raceweek emergency!

[John McQuillan]

I don't understand??... I was told that by the end of race week 2003 we 
needed to decide the dates and book with the Chamber. I told them myself 
that we needed the space from the 4th through the 9th for 2004.

I know Michelle is interested in hosting the banquet at Port, but if we 
don't think it's a good option...
