MEET & GREET IN THE LOUNGE: All Day Until Closing
The DCX crew may very well be spotted here... can you pick them out in the crowd? If you don't have a badge from last year, stop at the Front Desk and ask for a 'My Name Is' sticker for Spring Festival. Put your Username & First Name on it so we know who you are, then wander in and set a spell - somebody will be there! 
Most of us plan on dinner at the Hotel - We will have done enough driving and have a big day ahead of us so we're staying close and taking advantage of the hospitality of the Doubletree. Volunteers who have not had dinner prior to the Meeting can break off in groups to cover each other.
