The Spring 2008 Tar Heel News has been posted. It will go into the mail in a week or so, and branch members should receive it by the end of February.
Note that the hotel reservation deadline for the April 18-19 convention in Greensboro is March 18. Make your reservations now by calling 800-228-9290 to ensure you get the convention rate.
The registration form for Convention is in this issue. You can also register online. [The packet that will be sent to the branch presidents will include something new this year — a special registration form, with a special rate, for nonmembers. The online version of that, too, will be available soon.]
