The Central and Wheat State
Districts would like to invite you attend their joint summer conference July 31
- August 2, 2008 at
The Resort at Port
Arrowhead,
Lake Ozark, Missouri.
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 Osage National Golf Course. Play will
begin at 7:30 a.m., and we have reserved tee times for 20 golfers. Awards will
be presented at the course once everyone has finished. Brent
Adams, Caravan Ingredients, has agreed to handle the arrangements for the
tournament. If you would like to be in a special foursome, make a donation for
prizes or sponsorship (beverage cart, coffee & donuts, etc.) please contact
Brent at 913-890-5421 or by
e-mail. If you do want to golf the cost is $90/person, and includes 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 Bagnell Dam
Blvd., Lake Ozark, MO. The room rate of $110.00, plus tax and resort fee,
applies for single or double occupancy. Please mention group code AOM708 when

disappointed!
For planning purposes we would
greatly appreciate your advance registration. Please use the enclosed form to

Spring Meeting Report
Approximately 40 Wheat State and Central District members attended the annual
joint spring meeting held March 28 at Kansas State University in Manhattan,
Kansas.
Among the educational presentations was forklift safety training, which prompted
discussions on general safety management in milling facilities.
The annual meeting was followed by a Friday evening banquet and the annual
Purple Ash Golf Tournament on Saturday.
Preceding this year's meeting, members of the IAOM Education and Technical
Committees met to review the IAOM Correspondence Course revisions of units
