From Jim Ezell:
Just a reminder!  Friends of CASI Sponsors: August 15 is the deadline for appearing on this year's poster. If you have any name or logo changes please contact me. Your membership is good for a year from commitment, so you do not necessarily renew yet. This is just the poster deadline.



It's Tuesday afternoon and I am not sure when I will have internet tomorrow.  I am depended upon the local library and it is a small town and they do things when the spirit moves them.  SO, here are the CCOs for this weekend.  There are  automatic qualifiers
