Hoorayyyy!!!! It's done (almost, well, somewhat, that is, it will be upon receiving confirmation from all the folks who have to be consulted about the final definition of what they are leading, that is).

Many thanks to Nancy King, who worked with me for several hours this evening. Nancy, I still can hardly believe how much we accomplished.
I have to tell you, we made quite a number of "executive decisions". For this reason, I can't put much of the schedule on-line until folks confirm that they're OK with the changes we made in their workshops.

I already know one probable change: We scheduled Fortunato & Suzette to lead "Old Time Country Music" on Sunday at 2:30. Fortunato, this is due to my rotten memory, I got the days reversed (I do this to at least one person every year....) Will move you to Saturday and move C & W to Sunday if need be.

I sent out a bunch of e-mails and PM's tonight to various workshop leaders, will put up all workshops that have been confirmed tomorrow and will update as frequently as I can.

If you didn't get an e-mail or PM, we have already agreed on what you're leading and there are no changes in your schedule that I know of.

Once the grid is up, you all get to yell about it for about 3 days before it gets cast in concrete so don't panic if we have put you in two workshops at the same time, just give us a gentle hint and we'll fix it, OK?

Or, if we've set you up against one of the sessions you really were hoping to attend, let me know and we'll TRY to fix it.

Thanks again to Nancy for all the help; she's wonderful to work with, she knows almost everyone on the program whether they're from FSGW or Mudcat, she has great ideas and understands the problems of setting up the program -- we are all going to benefit from her input into the program.

Cheers all, will give an update tomorrow,
Rita
