• If anyone is interested in attending Leadership Day for Section 94, let me know ASAP. It is on November 6 at St. A's in New Hampshire. It starts at 9 am and goes until about 3 pm. It is completely free with lunch being provided. If you have a vehicle and would be willing to drive, that'd be awesome. If we get a car together by this weekend we can try to get gas money. Leadership day is run similar to the Saturday part of Conclave, with workshops and discussions throughout the day on various topics. If you intend to run for a position, especially one of the higher positions, this would be incredibly useful and valuable to go to.

Early registration deadline is November 8th. Nationals is a great opportunity to connect with brothers from around the country, and this is the convention that decides changes to National bylaws and other National documents.
• Our Conclave twitter is : uvmconclave2011. Check it out! Updates will be posted on there when they occur.
