On the heels of MWRTEC, I thought that I'd like to take this opportunity to once again remind folks of the Southeastern Regional Conference which will be held in Athens, GA March 24-26.

All of the events and exhibits will take place in our beautiful Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Georgia. Registration for the event is $30. One day passes will be available for $15 and Single event passes will be available for $5. I am also allowing "trailing parents/ spouses" to register at a reduced rate of $10. If you visit the SERTEC Website, you are now able to print off a pre-registration form and mail it out if you'd like.

If you have any question about the conference, I would be happy to answer them here on the board! Please visit the SERTEC Website at http://www.arches.uga.edu/~dzerkel/sertec/index.html
I hope to have the program on-site within the next week to 10 days!

See you in March!!
