The board members met at the Ramada MOA  on Dec. 8,2007 and agreed that this hotel had what was needed to put on a regional convention. 

With its easy access from any direction; a large parking lot ; close to all of the attraction Minneapolis and St Paul  have to offer family’s and a staff that is very helpful the board members decided this was going to be the place. We signed the contract on Jan 11,2008

 Our  next job is to come up with ways to entertain our guest while they are with us.  We need all of you to put your creative mines to work. 

 Some of the suggestion so far are:

                River Boat Dinner Cruse either the Padelford or Queen of Excelsior

                Fort Snelling History Center

                American Swedish Institute

                Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

                Tour  Federal Reserve  Bank

                Tour St Paul Caves

                Gangster Tour of St Paul

                Women's  outing  Bachmans Floral  and Garden Center  for breakfast  and tour.

 We also need a slogan for our convention . Last time it was "So Fine in 1999"
