Hello!

It is my pleasure to announce the program for the 2007 Hampshire & Franklin Municipal Conference on Saturday, April 7th, at The Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in Northampton. We are especially pleased to announce that Governor Deval Patrick and Congressman John Olver will be our featured speakers

I've teamed up with the Franklin and Hampshire Councils of Governments again this year to bring you this event, which features several leaders from the Legislature and the Administration engaging in a variety of panel discussions.

Please take a minute to review the lineup of this year's conference. If you have any questions, or to RSVP, call my district office at 413-587-6289, or send an e-mail to Tom in my district office at tumitch@sprynet.com.

I'm looking forward to seeing you April 7th!
