September 11-14th

It is all about kicking back, networking and having a good time with friends and colleagues.  Annually we seek a place of interest but yet convenient for our members.  This year, it is Gettysburg, PA.  The event takes place at the Wyndam Hotel, 95 Presidential Circle, Gettysburg PA.  The rate is $155.00 single and $175.00 a double rate (2 people in the room).  This rate includes a full breakfast each morning and evening functions.  To make reservations, call 866-845-8885 and reference Nat'l Assoc Oil Heating Service Managers - the deadline for reservations is:  August 12, 2008.

The Wyndam isn't famous like the old Gettysburg Hotel (we couldn't get space there) but you'll find the amenities very nice and the location is quite convenient - at the intersection of Routes 30 and 15.  It is just 54 miles from Baltimore or 118 miles from Philadelphia.

There is something for everyone to see in Gettysburg, for instance the new Gettysburg National Military Park is now open, museums, golf courses, Boyd's Bear Country and naturally outlets.
