I am sorry if my explanation of Kellogg Center was misread as "didn't you know". Kellogg Center has only been around for about 6 years, and it wasn't until this past year that it really came into its own as a conference space. When the Pope came to town, every hotel space in Washington was taken, so Kellogg was able to be full and now has many corporate users as well as non-profits.<br><br>Charles<br><br><br><b><i>Valerie Sutton <signwriting@mac.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> SignWriting List<div>May 19, 2008</div><div><br></div><div>Hello Charles -</div><div>Do you know that I did not know myself anything about the Kellogg Center...it sounds wonderful and I will enjoy presenting in the tiered space if need be!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>----------</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 19, 2008, at 4:34 PM, Charles
