For your meetings, we have set aside space in our Channel 1 amphitheatre for your schoolroom style meeting for 90 on Thursday from 8 to 5 PM and on Friday from 8 AM to 12 Noon. Additionally, we have set aside space for your lunch from -12_to 1 PM on Thursday. The Channel 1 amphitheatre is a unique facility in Atlanta, providing tiered seating, excellent acoustics, a direct line of vision on the speaker from any point in the room, and has been very popular with our groups. It is located on our Terrace level which is accessible from the guest rooms straight down on the elevators, rather than having to take escalators as we do with so many of our meeting rooms. Debbie, we look forward to placing this meeting on a definite basis, and all you need to do is sign the attached copy of this letter and return it to me to indicate your confirmation of these arrangements. I will touch base with you sometime after the first of the year to see how your plans are progressing. Best wishes for a happy holiday season.
