	What Marc was trying to point out here is that unless we get
some volunteers to help out with some of the jobs that need done to get
the expo off the ground, it will NOT be taking place. We are badly in
need of help to get the publicity tasks (investigating ad costs and
dealines) going since this is the main questions vendors are asking.
We can't expect vendors to make the effort to show up for the expo
if we cannot make some sort of statement about the number of visitors
we expect for the show.
