I believe last week was a vacation week for many people. I hope everyone
came back relaxed!

The BCG booth needs associates to staff it during the three vendor days of
the 4 day FGS conference in Austin. If you are going, please let me know
what days and times you can help out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The
times are roughly for 1.5 hours with 15 minutes on either side of an hour
lecture, but they do vary. Thursday the hall is open 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.;
Friday and Saturday it is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We will have 3 portfolios available for perusing: 2 CGRSs and one CG. We now
take Credit Cards. Stop by the booth and say hello!
