[Txabs] Texans Unite at NABS Meeting

Mon Jun 25 22:12:30 UTC 2012

Dear Tabsters,
 Ashly,  all of the points brought up by Juan are dead on.
 I will add  that if you are not sure if you will be there- no
problem,   pre-registering does  not mean paying your dues right then.
 you can pay  the $5 dues at the door (in fact, that's the only time
you can do it), so it's only to your benifit to pre-register, and you
have absolutely nothing to lose!
 Also, if you can,  could you please contact me off-list?
  looking forward to catching up  with all of you deep in the heart of texas!
  Darian
