I've had the unique opportunity to really get to know the boys, and they really are the most fantastic group of boys.

This is a great opportunity for boys and girls to show off their skills and hopefully participate at a higher level.

This is a great opportunity for people in the community to touch base and meet the commissioners and find out what we really do. We can find out from artists what they would like to see happening in Olympia.

It's nice to give more boys the opportunity to play tennis. We're very thankful for our courts.

It's going to be an opportunity for artists and organizations. It could be someone representing the Olympia Film Society or Harlequin or another arts group -- writers and poets, filmmaking. Anybody is welcome to come. We are deliberately casting our net very wide. It's going to really be an idea summit.

Some people are saying these high prices haven't affected demand much, and others say of course it has. You take your pick.
