Dear Chat Net members,

Would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the NAFEX 
annual meeting in LaCrosse Wisconsin. For your information below is the 
current list of speakers. Days Inn Motel still has rooms available in 
the reserved block. The Friday tour includes 4 visits to small fruit 
farms that grow commercially blueberries, brambles, elderberry, honey 
berry, Aronia, apples and more. Badgerset Hazelnut Research Farm is 
nearby and can be visited on Saturday. Our banquet speaker is Steve 
Murray a brilliant young man who has traveled extensively to China and 
the Far East exploring their fruits. He gave a short presentation at 
last year's annual meeting which was very well accepted by those in 
attendance.

Also don't forget the annual NNGA meeting follows the end of this 
meeting on Sunday, July 26. NAFEX registration form and more detailed 
information can be found at: http://www.nafex.org/meeting.php



We have a special motel room rate of $85 plus taxes and 2 people sharing 
a room bring the cost down to around $50 per night per person. If your 
envelope is postmarked before Thursday (price of registration increases 
$10) your cost to participate in all functions is $130.

Come, enjoy the farm orchard visits and add to your fruit growing 
education at the Thursday technical session.

Jerry Lehman
