6:30-9:00 We will start promptly.
I have some very interesting things planned for this workshop. You won't want to miss it!

**FALL CONFERENCES**
If your budgets will permit, you might want start tucking away a few dollars now. The Glorietta conference takes place in October. I plan to attend and so does Ann LeFevre. It would be nice to have a sizeable contingent from NJ represented. Anyone who feels they are ready for one of the larger conferences can see me before one of our meetings and I'll help you prepare.
