One of the goals this year was to insure that you are provided with a variety of topics and issues. With your help, Mark Wolschlager, our Program Director, will put together a program that will insure you are able to find something of interest for every time slot.
Since we are holding our symposium, we will hold only a short business meeting and will not have the usual activities such as Show and Tell, Silent Auction and Raffle.
