I will recind my spot. It's a shame that most Omni members cannot attend, as we are both hosts and some of the people who I think really need to hear what she has to say.

I just want to remind everyone that originally, no one from the Omni was invited to this *private* event. We requested that we be allowed to send Omni members and the organizers agreed - there was disagreement amongst them as to how many people we could send.
