Here i3 the info about chart~~ring a Greyhound bus to the Fresno DX Conference ..

Starting from S .. Fo and going throuch Oakland thence d:trcct to Fresno, tho n-in:..:num charge would oe 5212.62. For 29 passengers this would brea2.: down to 37. 34 per passenger" For a maximum bus load of 39 passengers it vtould come to 5271.,20 or $6.96 per pasaenger., ;;e could rent a portable bar for $10.00 also we could use the bus around Fresno for transportationo I would make every effort to get one of our Highway Traveler buses with Lavatory facilities. The routing is f:oxible and mieht alter the price slightly.. The departure times we could set to suit ourselves~ Reservations would have to be made ~nd paid for in Rdvance in order fer this charter bus to be a success.
