R - Sales - Said she can do a Sales Workshift during a slower time during the show, i.e. the last shift each day ^Rhoda

changing every 2 hours. * Back Door Security could work for her, though. ^Don

rules of booth selection order.
* Grace assisted Karen in the selection of names. * Avi kept the names on a floor map of the show room, after each booth was selected. * Booth persons not at the meeting, could either let the committee draw a booth number at random,
or send a proxy to select for them. * This show roster will come out in the Move-In Packet |
