Dear Participants, In the past I have warned you that the air-conditioning was strong in the Renaissance Hotel..and that you should all bring a light sweater.those who listened to me were thankful.So here is my advice for this year. The cafeteria at the Biat Vegan Guest House seems to me to be very small and very limited.so bring a sandwich, bring some pretzels, bring a granola bar or a cup of yogurt and a bottle of water--..whatever gets you through the day feeling comfortable. The breaks are short and you would rather talk with friends or browse the materials exhibition than stand in line for a sandwich which you could easily have made in the morning and put in your bag. See you all at ETAI!! :-) Susan Holzman
