(remember your earlier conversation?) are ready for duty (graciously provided
by our friends at Neuland), and registrants and their friends are planning what
they wish to offer in the Global Village Marketplace and the Silent
Auction. Access Queen is helping people with access issues, travel tips,
home stays, accommodation information, and a warm welcome to our lovely global
community.</span></font></p>
