This joint effort between AAAS and Community Services proved to be very popular and in most cases addressed all our concerns. Evergreen Park hosted a wine and cheese Friday evening which was attended by over 90 people who were treated to many forms of entertainment, including some talented members of the region's agricultural societies.

Several laughs were had and opportunity was given to anyone to walk up to the front of the room and tell everyone about their society's activities. Sharing of ideas and getting to know each other was very evident at Clarkson Hall. The Saturday sessions were a mix of information and ideas. Agricultural societies have more ideas of how to get more agriculture into their society events. More societies now understand what AAAS is all about.
