<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">This year's conference will be held on February 13 with dinner in the evening and a post-conference the next day February 14. All the details of the conference can
be found on our website at OAFCS.org. Our website is new. A newsletter will be forthcoming shortly. And a fundraiser to support student attendance at conferences will be held on Wednesday, February 12 in conjunction with Nation FCS Teacher's Day, at the
Rome-Hilliard Rd, Texas Roadhouse location from 3 to 10 pm. OAFCS will receive 10% of the amount you spend on dinner that evening, so please come and support your organization and the future of our profession. Have some good food, and some good networking
and socializing too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
