CLEAR YOUR CALENDARS FOR ...
STATE CONVENTION - 1st or 2nd week-end in May, 1986. This convention will happen in Colorado Springs. It will be less expensive than prior years, and more political issues and methods will be addressed. We'd like to see increased attendance, so please plan now.
NATIONAL CONVENTION - Colorado had only 5 of their 19 authorized delegates in attendance in Phoenix ... fairly embarrassing! Plan now for a trip to Seattle, probably in February or March of 1988.
