come by for a time of fellowship and refreshments. Also, we are planning a
short officials meeting beginning at 8:00 p.m. We would like as much of
the equipment as possible to be delivered / set-up on Friday evening. We
will be using the Quiz Machine program in all rooms and having the
equipment set-up beforehand will make the morning much smoother.
