RE: Second Spring 2011 Chapter Meeting Agenda June 12 Don McConnell

Well-known member
SAPFM ? ORV Chapter,

The Second Spring 2011 Meeting is a one day only meeting and has been set for Sunday, June 12 at Brian Neeley?s workshop in Lancaster, Ohio. 

As usual, I will need a head count of who is planning to attend so that we can get the right amount of food. 

This will be prime farming season so Charles Murray will be handling the food for this meeting. 

Brian?s shop will be open at 10 am and closes right after the meeting. 

I have listed the same hotel we used for our first Spring meeting.  However, we will be competing for rooms with local graduations.  I was only able to get 10 rooms this time.  So if you need a room, please make your reservation by the cutoff date of May 18.

Again, this meeting will be free to all dues paying SAPFM members. The proposed agenda is listed below. 

Thanks,
David
