The August meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 4, 2001 and will consider the letters of intent from April. Because this meeting is held the first weekend of Pennsic, and Laurel is only an hour away, those who are attending Pennsic from the first weekend are welcome to attend the meeting.
Not all letters of intent may be considered when they are originally scheduled on this cover letter. The date of mailing of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, etc.) have not yet been met.
REMINDER: Until the packet containing the paperwork is received, the letter may not be scheduled.
