2009 CEFTS CONFERENCE

TENATIVE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

The conference is a couple of months away; I know that some of you may be planning for your summer. This is a tentative schedule. We have the optional golf game on Tuesday and the possibility of the historical trip or the whitewater rafting on Friday if anyone is interested.

Almost everyone flew into the Clarksburg, WV airport for the last meeting (about 30 years ago), but you can come into Yeager airport at Charleston or the Morgantown Airport. We have arranged for lodging at two townhouses across the street from our building. We can coordinate schedules and try to meet your needs. If I have forgotten any business events or if they need to be rescheduled, please let me know.
