The time is fast arriving for the 2021 HSCA North West Regional Meeting in Portland, Oregon at the Holiday Inn. The Dates are August 27th for set-up and the 28th & 29th for the SHOW. This will be a good chance to discuss and plan for the 2021 HSCA Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs, which follows our NW Regional by a couple of weeks. The dates for the Annual Meeting are September 16th for set-up and the 17th, 18th & 19th for the SHOW.

I am writing today to give you a heads up with this information before it comes out in the News Letter.

The following people have committed to tables at Portland and do not have to respond:

We can make room for one or two more if you are interested In displaying, or just meeting with us In Portland. I will have two Sales Tables across the aisle from our displays that will be shared and used as Club/Sales Tables.

Let me know if you want a Display Table and have not already committed for one. Tables are $80 each and I will pay for all of them and you can reimburse me. I am a member of the OAC we can get a little break on the cost. You can call me at: Jerry Watson at 503 339 6329 if you want to discuss attending.

We will plan on having a No Host Dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings following the show.
