Members,

Update on Bemidji. There are hotel rooms available. The AmericInn, Best Western and Holiday Inn Express will have their ACM room blocks open until November 2. The Quality Inn and Super 8 will close their room blocks on October 15. See contact information below.

We currently have 35 seminars being offered. 5 by the Gambling Control Board, 2 by the Department of Revenue, 2 by the Department of Public Service, 2 by ACM Attorney Mary Magnuson, 2 by Tom Horner, 2 by Mark Irving, 8 ACM Group Discussions and 12 by Exhibitors. Seminar descriptions will be out later this month.

Thursday night we have our pizza welcome party and we also have C Willi Myles entertaining us. We consider C Willi a member of the ACM family. He is a gifted entertainer.

Friday afternoon we will be having a cash bingo session with a must go $1000 cover-all being conducted by the North Country Snowmobile club. All proceeds are going to the Bemidji area food shelf.

Friday evening is the banquet and entertainment by the Johnny Holm band. Johnny is a Minnesota legend that is not to be missed.

If you have not registered for the convention, there is still time to do so. Registration is attached. Additional information can be found on the ACM website (www.alliedcharitiesmn.org) under the Convention & Expo tab.

Come to Bemidji. You will learn, share, have fun and be entertained. Hope to see you there.
