Area XII 2004, Ontario, CA - Sign-In and Setup

Welcome mat!	Gotta smile!	There isn't a director in the world who won't take advantage of an opportunity to practice!
Checking for classes		Where is it?

The inevitable consequence of leaving large bells around (in this case, a Malmark G2) is that, after asking permission, someone will try to play them.

	Old friend reunite!	Checking in is another part of the game...
