When Keith and I were trying to rent an event location for this meet-up, we quickly found there were only two kinds of facilities available: affordable facilities, and available facilities :( Niagara on the lake being the tourist event that it is brings it's challenges in finding suitable locations.

In the spirit of complete transparency, the Prince of Wales Hotel is costing us $500 for the day, so we would like to ask for $10 per attendee to help defer the cost. This cost only applies to those attending sessions at the Prince of Wales Hotel on Saturday August 16th.

We encourage you to bring along friends and family as we will be posting ideas for many other fun events and things to see. We think however that the $10 dollars is going to be money well spent as the room is beautiful, inviting and a great place to learn.

Also, this is a *non-profit* event. If by chance there is money left over at the end of the day. we will donate half to a food bank in Buffalo, and the other half to a food bank in Toronto.
