Howard County Agri-Business Breakfast

The May, 2009 Howard County Agri-Business Breakfast is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 14, 2009 in the Dining Hall at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Please join us.

Our guest speaker will be Delegate Gail Bates. Ms. Bates, also a former member of the Howard County Farm Bureau Board of Directors, is a highly popular speaker and has honored us numerous times in recent years by serving as guest speaker.

We expect that with the 2009 Maryland General Assembly Session now a part of history, there should be many interesting arguments about the "good" and the "bad" legislation that was either passed, shouldn’t have been passed, or definitely should have been made into law. With the volatile state of our economy today, there should be many important concerns to discuss. Be sure to read Delegate Bates’ report from Annapolis in this newsletter.

We hope that you will make every effort to be present for this very important and informative program. Bring your spouse, and/or a friend. Enjoy the food, the fellowship and a lively, hopefully friendly exchange of information. Breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m. and the speaking program will get underway at 8:30 a.m.

Please RSVP by noon, Tuesday, May 12, by calling either Charlotte Mullinix, at (410) 489-4510 or Martha Clark at (410) 531-3455. The cost of the breakfast is $10.00 per person, payable at the door.

The formal part of the program will conclude by 9:00 a.m. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 14, at the next Howard County Agri-Business Breakfast.

This will be the final Howard County Farm Bureau Breakfast Meeting for the 2008-09 season. The next breakfast meeting will be in September, 2009. Suggestions for speakers for next season would be most welcome.
