2012 State Session: “Follow the Light to Seaside”

June 10-15 at the Seaside Convention Center

Major Schedule Changes

This year’s convention is a week earlier than “the way we’ve always done it.” Some schools will be out for the summer, and others will be finishing mid-week. To accommodate our youth, the State Youth Officers will open the Grange on Friday morning (instead of Thursday), making Friday Youth Day

bullet

Tentative Schedule.

Meals

Catered dinners are expensive. Therefore, we have switched banquets to luncheons. The exception is the Kick-Off Banquet, which will be at the American Legion Hall. All other dinners will be out on-the-town (good for the Seaside economy) or at your place of lodging. The schedule allows 2 hours for each luncheon and dinner break.

bullet

Order your meal tickets before JUNE 1. Meal tickets will NOT be sold at the convention!

Debate and Voting on Resolutions

State Master Mark Noah has indicated that he does not plan to delay resolutions until Thursday and Friday as we did last year. The first few resolutions will come to the floor on Tuesday morning, and others will be discussed on Wednesday morning. Typically resolutions that are not controversial come out of committee first.
