Notes from the Office

1/13/2010-The finishing touches are being put on the brochure as I write and we hope to have it in the mail by January 30. Sometimes I think the "hurrier" we go the "behinder" we get. We have some great speakers this year.  Bill Justice will be back with his water class, a day of practicals and lectures plus other favorite Michigan and National speakers, some who you were introduced to last year. I am busy adding the speakers to the web site and hope to have it completed this weekend. Have you become a Facebook Fan?  EXPO is celebrating it's 35th year.  If you would like to share a "remember when" put it on Facebook. We will send an e-mail when the brochure is mailed and when on-line registration opens. JL 10/5/2009-Wow! Summer is over, I hope this October is like last year. I went up the Grand River from Grand Haven several times and it was beautiful;  the color, nice weather, fresh air, and very few boats, my kind of day. But... it is time to think EXPO.  The education class schedule is just about finished and we have some great classes lined up with some interesting twists.  As soon as possible we will publish the info, we have a few i's to dot and t's to cross, please bear with us.  When you call the office you will hear a semi-familar voice.  Anne Bengel has replaced Theresa as a full time staff member. Anne has been working part time during EXPO since 2000.  Welcome Anne! Theresa has returned to school and will continue to work as her hours permit.  If you are a MAEMT member you should have received the electronic Fall Edition of Vital Signs, we devoted a whole page to EXPO. Check it out.-jl

Planning for 2010 has started, if you, or you know of someone who would like to volunteer at EXPO 2010 please e-mail the office.  Please send an e-mail even if you signed up at EXPO.  We need current e-mail info, date and times you are available.
