["Michael K. Maul" <mmaul@galaxy.nsc.com>]

I saw several posts on ridecamp asking about more information on the 
annual AERC Convention and Trade show.

I contacted the AERC office and have the following information
as it is now.  This will also be available on the AERC
home page  

http://www.aerc.org/

Questions on this go to the office at   aerc@foothill.net
