Amy has said Baxter Events Center at NSC is not available for rent in April for GNTs -- prospect of renovation of that wing. She offered the old cafeteria for GNTs, but it is far larger than needed and pricey. For a 12-hour day, the old cafeteria would be about $830 plus clean up whereas Bothell is $555 plus clean up. For two days that's a $550 difference.<div><br></div><div>How firm is the student competition and what is its synergy with NLM sectional that makes it attractive to co-site these events? Why can the student competition not be held as a standalone event? How many students will there be and where will they be coming from? Perhaps Ann should explore arranging for a coach or other transportation to the tournament site, wherever it is. </div><div><br></div><div>It would appear unworkable for David to transport equipment for set up and tear down both at Bothell and NSC in parallel on both Saturday and Sunday.</div><div><br></div><div>Tim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 1, 2015, at 6:51 PM, Patti <<a href="mailto:pattimcbridge@gmail.com">pattimcbridge@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div style="-ms-word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div><div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Students have no way of getting to Bothell.

We can fit 70+ tables at Bothell which will be more than enough for both the NLM sectional and the GNTs, with space left over for a school event if that materializes. And Bothell is quite a bit lower cost than NSC. The reason for going to Bothell was to avoid having David haul equipment to and from 2 different sites (NSC and Bothell) on the same day(s).<div><br></div><div>Has Ann Farmer provided a commit date and range of tables for a prospective school event?</div><div><br></div><div>Tim<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 1, 2015, at 12:58 PM, Patti McCallum <<a href="mailto:pattimcbridge@gmail.com">pattimcbridge@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-size: large;">I am still working on NSC for April.
