Just bring the tools you are normally using in your daily work. Don't rush out and buy a whole bunch of new tools, unless you REALLY want lots of new tools. There will probably be a limited number of tools at the seminar that you may use if you do not have all your own tools. ****** 4. Devotions/Religious Services: One of our Associate Members, Don Payne is a minister and will be leading a short devotional time on Sunday morning. This is going to be an optional, non-denominational religious service for those who are interested. ****** 5. Schedule: The schedule is as follows: Saturday, October 19 8:30 am Registration 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Vertical Regulation 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Open Forum Sunday, October 20 8:30 am - 3:00 pm Grand Regulation 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Repair Stations The time will be structured fairly well, but if you have a specific technical question, please feel free to speak up. There is time on Saturday evening to cover any questions that you might have. Also, there will be plenty of time at the breaks and meal periods to talk with other technicians about anything that is on your mind. ****** 6. Meals/Snacks/Restaurants The cost of meals is not included in the cost of the seminar. The OCC cafeteria has good food at a reasonable price ($4.50 per meal). The OCC cafeteria will be open on Saturday morning, noon, and evening, and on Sunday evening. The cafeteria is closed Sunday morning and noon, so those meals will be on your own. I am not opposed to traveling as a group to a local restaurant for Sunday noon meal, but nothing is planned at this time. Of course, there are numerous restaurants in Joplin if you wish. There will be a several breaks throughout the day, and there will be some things to nibble on for snacks, but nothing elaborate.
