I am in favor of allocating some funds but I'd like to see the list of
items and estimates because the current estimate seems high. It sounds
like they really need a table cover and pop-up banner which should only
be ~ $400-600 US. If it was closer to that amount I'd be more willing,

Maybe some others in the region can help find reasonably priced
retailers of the products needed.

FYI, I'm removing/moving literature stand from the Exhibition pack list
as it turns on that a $20 plastic sorter that sits on the table is just
as good for the amount of materials at a typical booth.

Thanks,
Alex
