All,

Please find attached information regarding our 2014 meeting. We have an exciting group of people coming to speak to us about grants, initiatives, and updates-please be sure to thank Jim Owen for arranging the meeting room that is making that all possible! Also we have a particularly important item, our renewal on the agenda! John Lea-Cox has arranged an outstanding tour and lunch for our second day that ends with drop off at two airports to make your return travel simpler! A big thanks to John for this!

A station report template is also attached. Our administrative advisor and staff asked for one addition to it so please do not use last year's form. The station reports are due one week before the meeting, July 8, 2014. Also please be aware that 5 minutes per person has been allotted for oral station reports at the meeting. Anyone who talks longer will be nominated for secretary!

Due dates:

Your registration form and check are due back to me by June 5, 2014. (Note that check is not made out to me/UT).
