Re: AIS: Show report
From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>
Congratulations Carol. You obviously put a lot of effort in rustling up
exhibitors. I find that once you get them out, they get hooked by the
prizes. In our best years, we're lucky to get 10 exhibitors and 2 youth.
Did you give away medians to exhibitors or as door prizes?
