Greetings to all!

 

With only 14 days remaining to register and to pay your current
Chapter/Division dues, please get to it!  GRIN!

 

It is important to register for the State Convention by the October 10
deadline since all current dues paying members who register by the deadline
will have the opportunity to vote and all who register by the deadline will
be  added to the drawing for winning door prizes.

After the deadline of October 10, registration will still be available
however, the window of opportunity to vote and be eligible for possibly
winning a door prize will be closed.

 

Warmly,

Joe
