AERC Schedule of Events

[MaryAnne Bobrow <aerc@foothill.net>]

Hi, everyone.  Here's a revised Schedule of Events for AERC's Convention.
It'll probably get one more update to fill in Committee meetings.

I'll also be rewriting the schedule in HTML language for the web site.
I'll do that tonight and forward it to Denise for posting on AERC's web site.
