Mary,

Just a quick note, more to follow later this weekend.

Actually I am looking at a standard add-on for a cell-phone that makes 
it a speaker phone. Since I have a conference call service (that works 
after I dial in as host), don't know the rates on 1-800 international 
service, I could dial into the service using a cell-phone and remote 
attendees could dial into the conferrence call service.

Upside is no hotel services required. Don't know about sound quality, 
etc. but I will try to experiment with this before promising it for the 
meeting.

If it works, and the if part is still unknown, might be a relatively 
inexpensive way to do conference calls to increase the attendance at TC 
meetings.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
