New for 2010 SAFMLS Meeting

• The President's Reception will only be open to members in good standing (e.g., dues paid up through 2010).  Dues must be paid by 1 Jan 2010.
• There will be an enlisted poster award, in addition to the clinical and research categories.  The enlisted poster can be in either research or clinical area of interest.  The first author must be an enlisted member of SAFMLS in good standing to win the award.
• Vendors will be offered the opportunity to present workshops and short topics at this year's meeting, and many have already expressed interest.  What this means to you is that our deadline for submission may not be pushed back as it has been in previous years.  Please get your materials ready now!
• Abstracts for workshops, short topics, and posters are no longer being accepted.  The deadline was 31 Dec 2009.
