that was canceled, I've heard back from all but two of you, and it looks as if we'll have the majority--if not all--of the original presenters on this year's rescheduled conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Remember that the dates for the rescheduled conference are July 15-16, 2021. The conference events will kick off with a dinner on the campus of Ottawa University on Thursday night, July 15, for
all attendees, and the following day will feature a morning plenary talk, a luncheon keynote talk, and a full slate of morning and afternoon panels. I'm currently working on reserving a block of tickets to the Royals-Orioles game at Kauffman Stadium the evening
of July 16; we hope to offer an outing to the Royals game as an option for all conference attendees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
