DAYTIME ACTIVITIES FOR GUESTS ACCOMPANYING MEMBERS TO CCC2007

Thanks to the efforts of Katherine Conover, the AHECTA Board has been able to offer suggestions for daytime activities for guests who accompany members to our annual conference.

This year, we are happy to announce that Katherine, whom many of you know as former board member Peter Conover's spouse, has come up with a list of activities for our stay in Portland.

If your guests would like to participate, please contact Katherine directly at kmconover@hotmail.com. There will be a chance to sign up at the conference as well.
