<DIV>I've attended the CA show last year AND the national. They do a great job out their in granola land, they really do. As good or (can you say this on TV?) better than the national.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just received the flyer for the California state conference. I was impressed with the layout, colors and hard-hitting, sparkling appearance. I especially liked the pictures of the various speakers. It really made me consider attending. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I wonder if a similar mailer for the national in Rochester would generate more interest from our membership than the same old, same old dull-as-a-doorknob flyer we've seen in the past? The cost might be more, but perhaps the increased attendance would offset that. Or am I speaking out of turn......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> P.S. Pictures of authors of articles in the Journal would be welcome also. It would enable us all to get to know each other better. (My own opinions). </FONT> </DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
