The Central and Wheat State
Districts would like to invite you attend their joint summer conference July
30 - August 1, 2009 at The Resort at Port Arrowhead, Lake Ozark, MO.
Please join us Thursday
evening for a relaxing
BBQ overlooking the lake. The excellent technical program will
begin Friday morning, and will include an opportunity to see new products
and services from various vendors during the Table Top portion of the
conference. The conference will conclude with the banquet Friday
evening. The Allied Trades hospitality suite will be in room # 226 (next to
the pool) and will be open Thursday and Friday.
There is a golf tournament
scheduled for Saturday morning at the Bear Creek Valley Golf Course. Play
will begin at 7:30 a.m., and we have reserved tee times for 24
golfers. Awards will be presented at the course once everyone has finished.
Brent Adams of Caravan Ingredients has agreed to handle the arrangements for
the tournament. If you would like to be in a special foursome, or make a
donation for prizes or sponsorship please contact Brent. His phone number
is 816-668-3327, or you may e-mail him at badams@caravaningredients.com.
If you do want to golf the cost is $80/person, and includes breakfast, green
fees and golf cart rental only. We must have payment in advance by
July 16 if you want to participate in the golf tournament.

We have reserved a block of
rooms at The Resort at Port Arrowhead. The Resort is located at 3080

resort fee, applies for single or double occupancy. Please mention group

availability and rates are not guaranteed. These rooms do go fast, so
book early and you won't be disappointed!
For planning purposes we
would greatly appreciate your advance registration. Advance
registration should be made by July 16 to take advantage of the reduced
