Dave asked if anyone had comments regarding the Amelia’s Restaurant where we held the Banquet. Next year we need a microphone (hard to hear). Ran out of turkey. We had added a few extra people at the door – maybe the restaurant was prepared for extras.
General consensus was Amelia’s was a good place for our banquet.
2004 NorPac Convention Update: The committee is working on finishing up loose ends. The registration cut off is Dec. 8 and we have a total of 71 registrations – we have set a 100 paid minimum to be close to breaking even on the expenses. If you haven’t registered, we need you there. There is a good range of topics and speakers and we have some speakers thanks to B J Filarski. Jim Gandy is going to help Carol publish the program. We are hoping to get some last minute ads that will help with the costs. If you or anyone you know would want to help the club by placing an ad – please let us know ASAP. Dave thanked Patty Evans for keeping the Registration updated on the website.

have 17 Solo events in 2004. July 26 the

we use this date for a mid year
