NEASM 2020 Convention

September 11^th, 12^th, and 13^th 2020

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone's year has gone well, despite all the craziness of 2020.

At last year's meeting I told Donna that if someone else couldn't be found to organize our get together for 2020, I would take it on, so here I am!

I was in the process of hunting down a meeting place in late February/early March when....well everyone knows what hit the fan in March so I won't go into that. Needless to say, as everyone and everything was shut down for the better part of 3 months, plans were put on hold. Once things started to open back up, I contacted Donna and Diane to see if we would still be on for September. The consensus was: If I could still find a place we would indeed give everyone the option of attending if they so choose.

Having researched things back in the winter, I found this great place in Conway, NH that suits our needs. Problem is, with Covid causing everyone to be short staffed, I played phone and email tag with the GM for the better part of 6 weeks. At any rate, I managed to get a block of rooms for us at the Merrill Farm Inn in Conway for our annual gathering which will take place on Sept 11 -13, 2020. Attached is a copy of the pertinent information, given to me by the Inn. The prices quoted are a package deal which includes: 2 nights lodging, Dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, and Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning. There is a meeting room reserved for us on Saturday morning as well for no extra charge. The "double" package price is for 2 people per room. If you will have more than 2 people per room, please let them know at the time you book. Just remember to tell them you are with NEASM.

For those of you planning to attend one or both dinners, but not planning to stay at the Inn, just call ahead to let them know you will be eating with the group so their kitchen can plan for the extra meals.
