    Finding venues and more

    Venue Today I visited The Inn at Cornish and had a tour of the venue and the inn. It is the PERFECT venue for AppleCon Maine, the only question is if it can fit into our budget. The year-one budget is always a mystery and remarkably tight, but the Inn has everything we want. Space, accessibility, location, and amenities. We are waiting for the inn to put together a package quote for us, we are determined to make it work.       In Other News The lovely Ms. Diamond DeVille has agreed to join us at Apple Con 2019!
