Appalachian State University is excited to host the August 14th meeting of the North Carolina Planned Giving Council.  This will be a quiet time on campus (students arrive in the following week), and we welcome you to walk around our campus either before or after our conference, and enjoy the mountain scene.  Also, please visit our website for information about the university.  Maps of the campus are available online as well. If you are staying overnight, reservations can be arranged at the Broyhill Inn by calling 800-951-6048 or by going online or by contacting one of many fine hotels in the Boone and Blowing Rock area.
 
Registration for the meeting will begin at 9:30 in Alumni Hall of the Broyhill Convention Center in front of the Helen Powers Ball Room where our morning and afternoon meetings will be held.  Always a great time to network and have some refreshments before starting our meeting.
