<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">NYC is an expensive town. Our (daily)
fees were already higher than average. Now, due to some unexpected additional
costs and a lower than predicted turnout (based on registration) we are
having to raise our daily meeting fee from $80 to $100 per day. This increase
will be reflected on your receipt. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My apologies for the last minute increase.
Even with this, the PWG is absorbing a sizable loss on the October 2003
meeting. I think we should keep these costs in mind when picking location
for our 2004 agenda. On the up side, Ami was able to get us a very good
room rate for NYC so we do have some savings, there.</font>
