    The table fans will help a LOT.  Point them upward.

    If you ever do have a ceiling fan, the rule is to blow the air
    in the same direction as you want the temperature to go:  If
    you're cold and you want the temperature to go up, spin the fan in
    the direction that blows air upward.  If it's hot and you want
    to feel cooler, spin the fan in the direction that blows air
    downward.
