The Program Planning Committee has a great educational experience scheduled for this year. Jean doesn’t just make this stuff up!  Board members, committee members and members across the state provide input on approval for all the programming the Chapter presents. 

If you need lodging note that the $99.00 room block is in place until October 20, 2011. The hotel will most likely still honor that rate for Thursday night.

Registration deadline is Monday, October 31, 2011.

DO WE REALLY WANT TO SAY “NO” TO OUR STUDENT CHAPTERS?
Of course we don’t want to have to cut back on our support and scholarships.  However, if the Education Committee does not reach its goal of selling all the $25.00 raffle tickets by 11-3-11 we might be forced to do so. 

If you have not been contacted by a committee member or student AND would like to purchase raffle tickets contact Jean at jdpetsch@windstream.net ASAP.  If you’re not into raffle tickets feel free to make a direct donation to the scholarship fund by mailing a check to the Chapter Office.  Call Jean or Vicki if you have questions.
