Greetings!
 
We hope that you are enjoying this February snow!
 
Along with the snow, February probably brought a pay check as well.  So if you were waiting for a fuller bank account before you pre-registered for our regional conference - the time is now!
 
Remember,  pre-registering allows you preferred session choices as well as a substantial discount. 

Pre-registration is due by February 9th so check it out today, send in your form and mark your calendar.  We look forward to seeing you there!
