OFFICIAL news about the convention.

As you are all aware by the time the convention rolls around that HVAC-Talk will have new owners. Since I am the undaunting chairman of this year's annual Convention, I immediately emailed Rich Kang of Build Central. My concern was to see how this might affect the Convention.

I was in correspondence with Rich earlier in the year. At that time Rich had committed Builder Central to donate $500. to the cause of sponsoring part of the Convention. I had tentatively earmarked this money to pay for the beer and the soda at the Saturday Clambake.

GOOD NEWS !!! Rich Kang emailed me back today. He said that, #1 he had spoken with Penton, the new owners, and they are going to continue to support our efforts to present the 3rd Annual Convention. Rich also said that since he and Build Central made the monetary committment, he would pay that which he said he would.

Thank you Rich,on behalf of all of us conventioneers. Hopefully we will have a great turn out.

More good news. The official Bennington Area Chamber of Commerce 2006 edition of the Visitors Guide will be out next week. This guide has everything you could possibly do in Bennington. (before you ask--yes, it is more than 4 pages )

They well send out a free copy to everyone who signs up. As the pre-registration forms come in I will turn over the addresses to them and they will send you all a guide.

""Jerry said that you are a Good man or woman as the case may be.""



Anyway if you did sent in your pre-registration form you were sent a Bennington Guide compliments of our Chamber of Commerce. If you didn't get one in a week or so please let me know.

We now have it set up so that as soon as you send in your pre-registration form, you will be sent the Guide.

Don't forget to look at page 57.

Even though Build Central sold this site to Penton they still kept thier promise. I said months ago that Rick Kang of Build Central promised a donation of $500. dollars to the convention.

We decided to let this money be used for the beer,wine and soda at the clambake. Well I am happy to say the check arrived. You guys better show up or I am going to have to drink all of this myself. . Which may take to Oct.1st, but I could do it.

On behalf of all who will be in attendance, a big THANK YOU to Rick Kang and Build Central.

Here you go Stamas--- http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=103644

Just hit this link. Print out the form and send it to me.
Don't forget to put down your email address also. (I didn't leave a space for it).

When we get the form the Chamber of Commerece will send you a visitors guide. I'll email you confirmation.

You should call the hotel to make sure they have your reservation, if you have any doubt.

Everything is coming together for the convention. I'm sure we are all going to have a super time. See ya then.

just hung up on the stupid broad at this fine establishment.
The rate went from $195/nite to $240/nite fr a studio. I made a reservation online. But now they call back with this crap. What is in the water up there. Could not get her to qoute the rates properly.
I'm going to find another place I think, any suggestions?

I just got my room, no problems with the pricing.

One thing I am crossing my fingers over is the weather. The old farmers almanac calls for sunny and cool for our weekend. Just as long as it is SUNNY. Cool just makes the clams taste better and the campfire more inviting.

Here is the link. We can rough up the old farmer if he is wrong.
