I am sorry to inform all members that the 2009 conference in British Columbia,

Canada has been cancelled. Joanne has informed me that

her agency would not be able to support the conference needs due to a tight budget.

There has been no talk for an alternate location. I will keep everyone updated as I receive information.

I'm sure we can all relate to these financial hardships that we all face. Lets

hope this wont last and that we can continue in 2010 (Arizona).

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks/Mark
