Ditto Todd,
We're about to "lower the landing gear" on yet another fantastic NEAT Convention this weekend. On behalf of the President, I would just like to take this opportunity to extend many thanks to the entire NEAT Board of Directors for all of their dedicated hard work this year. These people work tirelessly and diligently, all for the benefit and enjoyment of others. Having been a part of it first hand, I find it necessary to commend them for all the long hours and sacrifice in their volunteer efforts. We feel that our preparation will yeild the most quality show the NEAT membership have experienced to date this weekend!
Looking forward to meeting up with old freinds and the many new faces that have joined the NEAT family this year.
Sincerely,
Fred Barilla
Vice President

Steve, Fred, Scott, Ryan, Michael, Mike, Judy, Butch and about 20 other people who's names I may not be familiar with, but whom I'll never forget either for being as cordial and professional to me and everyone else who was at the N.E.A.T. show and competition this past weekend. All of you truly are a class act. Thank you one and all from the bottom of my heart. J J

John it was great to have you there! The show was tremendous. I don't see how Steve, Fred and BOD could do any better. The judges, seminars, the quality of work, and all that attended were better than great.

This show was indeed one to remember. I knew the main theme of the NEAT 2008 Convention would be "QUALITY." Thank you to all who attended and for all of your kind words and encouragement.
A job well done by our 2008 Judges and Seminarians. The knowledge and education that you all provided this weekend was nothing less of ASTOUNDING! Thank you!
It is always an honor to meet up with old friends and new ones who have joined our family. I hope everyone came away from the show with more than they expected, and I hope to see you all again in 2009.
We will have a separate post shortly with highlights of the convention.
Sincerely,
Fred Barilla
