| An Invitation |
As you heard at the Fall 2005
meeting, there is a problem with our Spring 2006 meeting in Reno, as it was
originally scheduled to start on April 16, which turned out to be Easter
Sunday. Vice Chairman Jim Fitzgerald has contacted the Hilton and we have
re-scheduled the meeting for Sunday March 12 through Wednesday March 15. The
meeting will be at the Reno Hilton. Block out your calendars now and make
your plans. Jim will provide additional details as we get closer to the
event. Have a wonderful holiday season. See you in Reno. - Chairman Bill
