Due to hurricane Ike, the 2008 Texas APA Conference has been rescheduled to February 4-7, 2009 and relocated to El Paso.  The conference program will remain essentially the same.  If you registered for the conference in Galveston, your registration fees will automatically be transferred to the new conference in El Paso and you do not need to register again.  If you choose not to attend the conference in El Paso, you may request a refund by contacting Dick Lillie, Executive Administrator within 60 days of receiving this notice at dlillie0919@att.net or 512-306-1674.
