Ed note, sorry about this notice, recycled from an ABQ Slam digest, being so late. I'm still working on organizing info rec'd irregularly and from a variety of sources as well as setting up more timely and reliable lines for information. Until then, expect the haphazard. This task may need to take a back seat to Picnic tasks as the event nears.
