Re: [Killietalk] 2008 Convention Site Updated

   Beginning next week, registration packets will be
sent in the mail containing lots of information - such as your Fish Sale
Room numbers and forms for the fish sale room and show room.  Those will be
sent over the next couple of weeks.

Tom  Why are we sending out registeration by snail Mail ??A conformation by 
e-mail that your registration was reserved would be all that would be 
required or do we really have all that extra money. We always pick up a 
packet when we got there.
