Wouldn't mind going Thursday but friday seems like a waste to me.

It's not likely many from your area will go if the ACR Spring Roundtable is 4 days earlier in the week. That's the one I want to make if choosing one is the only option. Though I can drive or fly into Dallas from here with no problem.

We joined UAMCC and we hope to attend this convention. The schedule of events looks good. It cost us $97.00 for one year to join. We filled out the application and sent it in, and within 24 hours had a telephone call welcoming us to the organization. How nice!
