NY Maple Conference in Verona

[Dropflue]

Has anybody received by mail the registration form & workshop topics for this years conference. I usually see it in the mail by now. If someone can e-mail the topics or a copy of the pre-registration form, It would be great!
Or the e-mail to the high school FFA staff ( Keith S. I believe ?)

Thanks,
Rick (Dropflue)

Well, my Bday is the first week of Feb and I had mentioned to my wife about some of you guys had been poking at me to come up jokingly. She took it upon herself to make arrangements as a suprise for me to come and she logged onto the trader and worked out the details with mapleman. She got me a round trip ticket up Fri night and back on Sunday night thru Philly and into Hartfort.

Can't wait to see each of you guys that will be there and hope plenty of you will come. Mapleman is going to pick me up at the airport and I will be spending a couple of days with him and his family and I can't wait. She sprang this on me about 11 pm last night and I was shocked to say the least. What a wife and what a great friend I have in mapleman!

Hope plenty of you will be there to see my ugly mug! 8O 8O 8O 8O ops: ops: ops: :wink: :wink:
