From Bill Pierson:
The trickle of registrations for the Great Pepper's Meeting has turned into more of a drip. The numbers will be slightly different from those given at the Board meeting last Saturday. For those of you lucky enough to be there.
Please get your registrations to Bill so that the planning can be finalized.
