Yes, we leaped ahead one hour this weekend and yes, that means we are one hour closer to the important APRIL 20th deadline. A reminder that registration forms are available at the conference web site if you did not receive a package. Don't miss out on the pre-conference workshops or on taking advantage of the early bird conference rates. And if want to send for a 2001 PEI Visitors' guide or find the guide online, go to the PEI government web site at: http://www.gov.pe.ca/ And go to "The Island Today" page for a good chuckle at our April 2nd weather, road conditions, Today in Island History, the bird of the day(I couldn't make that up), the Island Cam of University Ave., and ask the Premier's office to recognize your birthday (it doesn't say that you actually have to live here): http://www.gov.pe.ca/today/index.php3 And once again, why is April 20th a date to remember? APRIL 20 is: The Deadline for registering for the 3 pre-conference workshops The Deadline for taking advantage of the early registration conference fees The Deadline for booking at the Delta Prince Edward to qualify for the "Early bird prize" which is a Weekend for Two at the Delta.
