Good morning..... the oldest regional meeting is the last weekend of feb in chicago at the Gwen hotel on Rush st.(the number one hotel in chicago) We start with a get together on friday night, meet sat and sun morning till about 12-1 (in time
for everyone to make afternoon flights) The meeting is VERY informal and all clinical and of course the highlight is the award ceremony on sunday (Gretchen, the queen, is in charge) The cost is 275.00 and the check should be made out to seth koch/mwvos and mailed to me at 23 hedge row road, princeton, n.j. 08540. The rate at the hotel is 149 plus tax (the usual rate is double that) until feb 15 and then it reverts to the normal rate.Call the hotel and mention the midwest meeting to get the rate. I and
Ken Abrams (our technicon) need to know what you are presenting and how much time you need.for your presentation. Everyone is invited including residents, wanna be's , spouses, techs...everyone....if there are any questions, drop me a note and between Ken and me we will supply an answer. (it may not be the right answer but it will be an answer nevertheless)..
Leading off is a presentation by Dave Ramsey who has already requested the lead off and who am I to question his regal self? So, put it in your calendar and act on it soon as you can ( david maggs said he is coming, but with david, no one knows?)Best to all ...seth , ken, paige and everyone else who makes this happen😁
