day for non-members for the training series. (This is without any
discounts for early registration and/or registering for the complete
6-day training series.)
Seattle and Olympia AGA Chapters:
1. We need to know how many are interested in this training series from
Seattle and Olympia AGA Chapters?
2. Would you prefer a training location in Vancouver to avoid
out-of-state travel or would a location in the Portland Airport area off
I-205 be acceptable?
(We are finding costs in Vancouver to be higher.)
Portland AGA Chapter - Salem and Portland areas:
3. We need to know how many are interested in this training series from
the Salem and Portland areas?
4. Would you be interested in alternate training dates with the location
of the training at the Wilsonville Holiday Inn off I-5?
(If there is enough interest in the Portland/Salem areas we would
schedule the trainers from the National AGA office for additional dates
to accommodate that interest.) 
Please, provide your interest by January 22, 2010 so we can schedule the
appropriate venue and possibly additional dates for this tremendous
training opportunity.
