We are swinging towards our swanky meeting in St. Louis. There will

September 15 and Tuesday September 16th. Don't miss the
Genetic

inimitable president-elect, Michael Province will serve as Master of Ceremonies for this
event, on Monday the 15th, to be followed by Beatlemania. To obtain the
discounted early registration price, you need to register with regonline
