To all the people who have contacted me for NEAT membership apps. I will pass your names on to my secretary and she will insure you get the proper info.

As for our show, things are in full swing and a few changes have been made,details in the next news letter coming shortly.

We have secured 2 top notch judges thus far.

These 2 judges are by far these best in their fields

The New England Association of Taxidermists (NEAT) Convention 2007 is scheduled for June 8, 9, and 10, 2007.  We are working through some new ideas and have decided to continue our offer to provide FREE space for suppliers interested in attending our show.  We were fortunate enough to fill our supplier room in 2006 which added to the enjoyment of all attending NEAT members.  Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Please don't hesitate a single moment to get in touch with us.  Tables are going quick!  Please email NEAT Secretary, Judy Bragg at jbragg1@verizon.net with your reservation today!

We hope to see you there
