Re: 2014 VM Workshop attendee registration is open for all attendee types: regular, student, sponsor, and spouse!

Ken:  Yes, you were registered and paid - you reserved a free polo shirt, and 
free banquet dinner, no dorm room reserved.  Unless you want to turn down the 
free $65 Aggie debit card for food purchases in the cafeteria, you might want 
to log back on and add that to your shopping cart, and submit it, too.

Tim: Yes, you were registered and paid - you reserved a free polo shirt, and 
free banquet dinner, a free $65 Aggie debit card for food purchases in the 
cafeteria, and 3 nights in private dorm room.

Tuco:  Yes, you were registered and paid - you reserved a free polo shirt, and 
free banquet dinner, a free $65 Aggie debit card for food purchases in the 
cafeteria, and 3 nights in 2-person dorm room.

Each of you:   Whoever registers an attendee should have received a Paypal 
receipt by e-mail.  If not, please let me know by private e-mail.

If anyone else has questions about their registration, or general workshop 
questions, you can (reducing listserve traffic) reach us from the "Contact Us" 
link on the web site, or e-mail: webmas...@vmworkshop.org

Best regards,
Mike Walter
2013/2014 VM Workshop chairman
