Thanks Richard!
BTW, your button link for RSVPing is very difficult to see/find on that page. Maybe you could have the text "RSVP now!" hyperlinked as well.

**OctaneGuy** · #10 02-02-2005, 09:40 AM

Oh thanks for the feedback! I'll fix it, but can you tell me the URL??

Do you mean this page?

Looks great to me! :-) Now, have registrations gone up since you've done this?

Agro · #15 02-08-2005, 04:34 PM

And how about since the mass emails I sent out to AMVIV interested parties?

Unfortunately there were no immediate RSVP's in the days following, not until Agro did the mass email and we got 17 RSVP's from that. Hard to tell of course, but making something friendlier and more clear is never a bad thing! Thanks for your help--Dominic and Andrew!!!

CAN was introduced to c3 by James (STER AG).
Where did James Meet Richard?

Answer:
Long Beach Poker Rally 2004

Richard says:
I was sponsor for the LB Poker Rally as I donated one of my VacuCam camera systems and some other Octane products. Becky of LB MINI asked me to say a few words about these cameras, and I snuck in a plug for c3. James contacted me shortly after that he was really interested in joining c3, and now he is an integral part of our Core Team who spends a great deal of time and energy with us in making events like the AMVIV kick off dinner a reality.

You can add myself and Peter to the list as I just registered.

**OctaneGuy** · #21 02-08-2005, 10:27 PM

Thanks Randy! The list is automatically generated when you RSVP. I noticed you put one person but you paid for two. Shall I change that to two, or do you want me to add Peter's name too? It doesn't really matter, it's more for letting other people know who's coming to the dinner. The number of persons is just a counter for us.
