P3D NSA Richmond-Menu and Schedule

[Bill Davis <bd3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Only a month away now.  If you didn't send in your registration yet, better
do it now!

The cutoff for pre-registration is July 20, two short weeks away.  

After that you have to bring your money with you and stand in line waiting
to register, hoping there's still a ticket available for the Banquet or a
tour. 

Need I remind anyone that two years ago we sold out the Banquet entirely
through pre-registration?  Those who waited to sign up on site went hungry!

This menu sounds a lot better than the Spartan fare we offered in
Rochester, too.  From the website
