Sturbridge, MA
Make a reservation for this meeting.
MEETING INFORMATION:

This years COC will be held at the Sturbridge Host Hotel in
Sturbridge, MA October 4 through October 6.  This weekend is usually
a very beautiful time in New England.

We will have activities for the entire weekend.  Beginning on Friday
night, October 4, we will have a hospitality suite.  On Saturday we
will have a full day of events starting with the business meeting and
ending the official day's activities with the installation of the new
slate of officers at the banquet.  The banquet will end when everyone
has had enough fun and excitement for the evening.  The highlight of
which is the medal winning Sweet Adeline Barbershop
Quartet "Reminisce" during cocktails from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
in the banquet room.

HOSPITALITY ROOM:
We will have a hospitality room at the Sturbridge Host Hotel.  You
may inquire about its location at the check-in desk upon your

10:00 p.m.  This is a wonderful opportunity to meet your fellow SME
members, their guests and spouses.

This is a very casual and relaxing evening.  I recommend attending
this function, even for only a few minutes.  Your fellow SME members
and their guests are very helpful and friendly.

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided to all attendees.

affect the way your Region operates.  The highest ranking elected
officer in attendance from each Chapter is entitled to vote, offer

bear a letter verifying their special status.  These credentials need
to be provided to the Region Secretary (Jeffrey Caleshu) prior to the
start of the business meeting.

your chapter will get credit for attendance and receive all possible
funding.  There is No Charge for this Region benefit.

hour, which will be followed by a banquet style dinner.  The cost for
the banquet is $30.00 per person.
