Resource fair discussion: Suggestion to hand out tickets to people who

attend the fair and have door prizes to get a better idea of how many people attend

Not many surveys were turned in - feedback was that the front area was congested

Next year: possibly not assigning tables alphabetically/ prior to the event - 1st come, 1st pick

Need a better system for directory and to sign up for tables

Registration and pay through the website Need more consistency with the committee

members Start planning before January Cost for tables will increase to $25 prior to

March 1st; $40 after Require people to RSVP for accommodations so

quantity of interpreters based upon actual need

Add a link on the website for Fair procedures Need to allow $ in budget for advertising

Thanks to Bob West for setting up our new email system and webpage support.
