[OMS_MANAGERS] Registration Now Open for the 2022 OMS Conference, Oct 5-7 in Klamath Falls

[Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance]

During the zoom meeting in July with yourself, Maryelizabeth,Mark and
myself  - did you tell us that there is scholarship funding available for
the fall conference?  Or am I completely off my rocker?...I'm inclined to
believe that it is indeed the case - but just wanted to get confirmation
before I sign up for a stint in an asylum😳!

Sincerely

Please forgive any oddly timed replies; I am working part-time.
