Lunch and hotel survey report ...

[External Poster]

This posting is from: Diva Las Vegas
----------

The survey closed last Saturday.

96 valid responses were received. This is slightly lower than our survey
last year, but still in the ballpark and most definitely valid.

Of these, 21 were from those who have never attended, 15 were from those
who attended once, and 59 were from those who attended twice or more.
Although the results are tilted toward multiple-year attendees, all
classes are represented. Numbers may not add up to 96, Since not
everyone answered all items.
