    Thanks to all the attendees and vendors who made this years Annual Conference a success, and to the officers and those behind the scenes who worked so hard on setup and tear down. Also, Cory Spengler deserves a big thanks for her work in the kitchen and making things run smoothly there. The comments submitted by attendees showed most felt it was one of the best conferences yet, with good information for all.

    Time is getting short to sign up for the CBPA 2005 Annual Conference, to be held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, so head on over to the Conference page for more information and the sign-up form. For those in the water and wastewater industries, there are Training Units (TU's) for attendance.

    Also, thanks to Charlotte, Byron and the other officers for their work on the CBPA Winterization guides for the RP and PVB. They are now permanently linked in the left navigation bar. If any water districts would like their city name inserted into the guide in the spot for that, please contact us for a modified version. This is a nice 3 fold pamphlet that water districts can give to their customers.

    The meeting for Wednesday, 10-12-05, will be held at the Marston Treatment Plant at 9:00 am. Check the Meetings Page for a link to a map. On another note, what a way to start a Monday, first snow of the year and the trees really took a beating again, similar to an early snow we had 2 or 3 years ago.

    It was a good meeting last week in Greeley, and thanks to Doris Biehl and Christine for organizing and hosting the meeting. There was a good turnout with close to 40 in attendance. Tara has a pretty good schedule setup for the rest of the meetings this year, and you can check it out on the Meetings Page

    Finally, the CBPA Officers are asking for your input on topics of interest for the CBPA Annual Conference in November. Now is the time to give that input either via email, or by this forum setup on the BPECC for this issue.
