[RE]GDG- New Visitor Center

[Lisa Malandra]

Good luck seeing anything, Jim during the Member's Night on April 24.  Even 
though I am no longer on staff, I still have my connections.  Over 1300 
members and guests have signed up for that night.  The staff still hasn't 
figured out how to handle it.  I suspect the "local" preview will give them 
the practice they need!
