I’m afraid we have to make some last-minute changes to the arrangements for our productionconference.
Ten more guests have accepted.
The President wants only one hour for lunch, and just a simple buffet-not seated in therestaurant.
The Conference Speaker(Tom Moors)can’t come until 2 pm. So he will give his presentationin the afternoon. Can we move the
