ANNUAL RESEARCH AND EXTENSION CONFERENCE INFORMATION
The Planning Committee has been hard at work on this year's Annual Research and Extension Conference. The dates are Monday, October 21, through Thursday, October 24, 2002 as printed in your KSU Research and Extension Purple Planner.

The committee would appreciate help with some items. We have had several requests to block out time for meetings, both formal and informal, with different Research and Extension teams. If your team has a particular request, please let us know. We also are looking for suggestions for training sessions that would be of interest to a broad audience. If you have an idea for a session you would volunteer, or a session you would like to see offered, please give me a call at 785-532-6101. --Dave Mengel dmengel@bear.agron.ksu.edu
