Hello to all FAR-Westers who are going to Kansas City for the annual FAI Conference. Steve Brogden here. I would like to invite each of you to the Regional Breakfast at 8AM this Friday (Feb 20th) in the Roanoke Foyer followed by the FAR-West regional meeting at 9AM in the Penn Valley conference room. I know 8am seems a bit uncivilized, especially since you will most likely have been up til all hours the night before. For these few days, please remember that sleep is highly over-rated and that you can sleep when you get back home. I would love to see you at both the breakfast and the regional meeting.
No need to RSVP. Just show up and enjoy the breakfast and meet some of your fellow FAR-Westers at the meeting right after breakfast. Hope to see you in KC!!
