The Florida Chamber will reimburse you for any room, meal, and
transportation charges that you incur in connection with the
short-course. We encourage you to attend the Wednesday evening
cocktail reception and dinner which will be held at the Florida
State Conference Center. Please list your expenses on the form
enclosed and return it to the Florida Chamber by January 31, 1985.
Please attach receipts for all expenses.

Finally, the Chamber is considering whether to videotape certain
of the more popular sessions taught at the short course. The
primary purpose would be to make the tapes available to local
chambers and to possibly hold a second short course via videotape
for those unable to attend the January 16-17 session because of
the limited capacity of the conference center. Your biographical
sketch along with background information on the seminar would be
included as part of any videotaped materials to be shown or distributed
at a later time. If you have any objection to having all or a portion
of the sessions) in which you participate videotaped for distribution
by the Chamber, please contact me no later than December 14.

Thank you for your willingness to be a part of this program.
Please contact Carol McRae (904/385-1790) or myself if we can be
of further assistance to you in preparing for your sessionss.

Sincerely,




Charles B. Littlejohn
