TO ALL ADMINISTRATORS:
The Virginia Moose Association will be offering pre-registration for the
upcoming Mid-Year Conference.
The process will be VERY simple. Please fill out the attached form, one (1)
for each person you are going to pre-register. Please PRINT CLEARLY or type
them, it would defeat the purpose if we have to reprint name badges due to
misspelling. You may return completed forms at any time from now until January
5, 2009. ALSO, please remind those that you pre-register that they do not
need to register upon arrival. We had many lodge officers who registered
again, or attempted to.
Please include any position currently held by individual at lodge, positions
to include Past Governor. If no position is held, list as member. List
amounts due-from registration down, to include any tickets you may want to
purchase. Show total at bottom.
Send completed form to VMA Office, with a check made out in the appropriate
amount included. Any tickets purchased will be included in your registration
badge when it is picked up at convention. You may still purchase tickets at
convention should you choose to wait until then. Pre-registration is NON
REFUNDABLE. No refunds will be given for anyone who does not show up.
Upon arrival at conference, regular registration will be available. Those who
are pre-registered will simply need to present membership card to Paula and
pick up name badge.
Any questions please contact VMA office at 434-237-3006 or email at vmaoffice@aol.com.
Looking forward to a great conference!

The Osmond Brothers have entertained millions performing in front of

close harmonies have sold over 80 million albums; they have 47 gold and
platinum records to their credit. They have broken records for sellout
performances once held by the Beatles and Elvis Presley, and have won
numerous awards including the People's Choice Award, Best Vocal Group
and Best Show in Branson, Missouri, a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. They have a huge loyal fan base from all over the world who have
followed the Osmonds from the very beginning!
Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy have just returned from a highly successful tour
of the United Kingdom and also toured with Jimmy's American Jukebox
Show. Their latest DVD, "The Osmonds Live 2006 London" rocketed to the
#2 position with a bullet on all major British charts and remained on
the charts for several weeks.
