Welcome to 2012!!!!! 
Below is the “2012 March Meetings Registration Form” both as a MS-Word Document (for those that want to use their computer to fill-out and digitally store their registration) and an Adobe PDF Document (for those that want to fill out their registration  by hand). The Registration Deadline is March 7th.

Distribution for the Registration forms will be via e-mail, NM-IOOFs websites & the Rebekah Reporter—i.e., there will be no snail mailing of the Registration Forms by the Host Lodge. Those that don’t have an internet service will have to rely on their lodge Secretaries &/or their members to provide copies of the Registration Forms. 

Sessions: To download a detailed program click here:

• Friday Morning: NM Canton #1
• Friday Afternoon: NM Grand Encampment
• Saturday Morning: Open Joint Session
• Saturday Afternoon:
  • Grand Lodge
  • Rebekah Assembly
• Sunday Morning: Recreation Area Board of Directors Public Meeting

The GL &RA Saturday’s sessions will be at its usual location but now that that the Rancher’s Steakhouse is under new management it is now the “Bodega Hamburger Co. & Lounge” (Same Place; NEW Name)
They are giving us the same arrangements & meal prices that the “Rancher’s Steakhouse” gave us last year.
Note: They have also opened up the public dinning room so those that would like to order off their menu rather than the meals that are being offered on the Registration Form have the option of doing so and paying for their meals at the register.

I had a Knights of Pythias Lodge “walk-through” with Jennifer, the new City Visitor Center Director. She assured me that, unlike last year, the heaters will be operational for our Friday & Sunday use of the Lodge.  I requested 8 tables & 50 chairs for the Friday & Saturday meetings. (Deborah, the old director is now one of the proprietors of the Bodega Burger Co. & Lounge and the reason we got last year’s pricing for the facilities & meals)
Upon last year’s agreement with the Canton a $3 registration fee for them will be on the Registration Form and is to be used for an “after-meeting” on-site Deli lunch, so those attending the afternoon Session of the Grand Encampment will not have to go “off-site” for lunch.

The Saturday morning Joint Session has been moved to the West Ballroom since tables and chairs will be already set-up for our lunch buffet.  This will allow the Rebekahs to set-up their East Ballroom for their afternoon session in the morning allowing for a smoother transformation between sessions.
