Have you ever been to District Conference? We have GREAT news!
The Board has voted to pay REGISTRATION for first timers. (You pay for your hotel.) There is also an early bird deadline 1/15/2019 (so let us know NOW and save the club). This year there is an Adult Big Wheel contest, an airshow, fishing tournament, and a club dinner at Emeril's restaurant Saturday night.
